Breaking News: Preferential Voting is Unconstitutional

[King]

I was just looking at how we enacted Preferential Voting and um, it was submitted and passed as BILL and never AMENDED the constitution so the original election system in the Atlas Constitution overrides the Preferential Voting Bill.

This means the Supreme Court has the power to overturn the results of every federal election held after May 7th, 2004.

Good job, Senators!

[King]

Personally, we need to stop getting bogged down in technicalities. The bill passed. We are in fantasy elections, not the AG's office.

But this could mean a lot, plus StevenNick and Harry could request a revote since they lost because of the preferential voting system.

Absolutely.  When's the Supreme Court gonna recover?  I'm think about starting a revolution, myself..

We already *had* one, it was unsuccessful...

Gabu won the final round tie because he had more first preference votes.

That's what I don't like, if I could quote some parts of a message from WMS on this:

The issue King has raised was in fact brought up, debated, and settled at the time the bill was passed.  It was decided that the bill did not contradict the constitution in any way, and therefore did not need to be an amendment.

It was not discussed in the original thread where the Preferential Voting Bill was debated and voted on. The only discussion was when NickG asked if it was an amendment or a bill and StevenNick said a bill. No Senator officially questioned whether it was vaild or not...
