Abstain. I'm woefully disappointed, once more, in this Senate.

What exactly do you suggest?

Personally, I would like to see the Senate have the conversation on the intent of the bill. I think this is the third time the Senate has quickly debated and then voted down some sort of "cleaning the roles" bill. You need to actually have the debate to find the solution. Kicking the can down the road will only prolong the problem.

Does anybody disagree with the intent in principle? I think everyone wants to limit zombies' influence.

The greater problem is finding a way to do that without causing more problems.

We almost all agree on the intent, but we've debated an uncountable number of "reform" proposals that are either unfeasible or potentially incredibly damaging. So far there has been no realistic way of curbing the influence of zombie voters that doesn't take a hatchet to Atlasia, so yes, they're "quickly debated and voted down."

So gut this bill and find the solution. It's faster and better policy to carefully place the dart in the center of the bulls-eye than it is to hope someone else throws it and gets it somewhere near the center.
