Oh, PS: I know I don't have any legal authority to set this up. But if nobody does it, I figure we'll never have a constitution. And time is running out fast.

4. a)
5. Aye
6. Aye

[minionofmidas]

I proclaim the final results:
The First Amendment was passed by a vote of 21 to 0 with 2 abstentions.
The Second Amendment was passed by a vote of 20 to 1 with 2 abstentions.
The Third Amendment was passed by a vote of 20 to 1 with 2 abstentions.
On the Fourth Amendment, there were 9 first preference votes for Plan C, 6 first preference votes for Plan A, 1 first preference vote for Plan B, 6 abstentions and and one ballot that I have to reject because it does not state a first preference (Demrepdan's). I hereby declare Plan C and the Amendment to have passed.
The Fifth Amendment was passed by a vote of 15 to 5 with 3 abstentions.
The Preferential Voting (Sixth) Amendment was passed by a vote of 11 to 10 with 2 abstentions.

Where is the Sixth Amendment on Preferential voting posted??  It's not in the Constitution.  If it passed and is now therefore part of the Constitution, shouldn't the Constitution be updated to reflect this?

[12th Doctor]

No preferential voting!!!!!!!   That plan sucks.

[12th Doctor]

It's not even IN the original draft.  You are inserting it in there for no reason at all.  In that case, we should have been able to try to insert anything we wanted to, but you limited the vote to a yea or nay vote to insert one piece of the agenda you've been pushing all along.

[12th Doctor]

The PV plan is bullsh**t.  It's specifically engineered to creat some sort of Progressive/ Democrat majority allignment without the two groups acctually needing to cooperate.  It was designed with an agenda in mind and anything like that should not be in the Consititution.

We wanted an EV system, you wanted the PV, man don't change the history

I wanted Electoral Votes to.  By PV I mean preferential voting.

Looking back through this thread, it appears that the Preferential Voting amendment was declared as passed at 6:12 am yesterday morning (11-10 with 2 abstentions).  It would seem that arguing its merits now a moot point.

I will ask my question again- where is the text of this amendment posted?

Thanks for helping out a newbie.

My point was that it wasn't in the original Constitution.  It's just an idea that these guys wanted, so they threw it in there, but denied anyone else the chance to post an amendemnet.

No!   They made it up.  They don't even have a template for the supposed amendment we would be voting on.
