For some issues in activity overall in the game, this is one of the more interesting At-Large elections.

Heck I am stoked to be in the running. I never thought I would get more than 2 votes. Smiley

Also, by my count, there are another 14 voters who are ineligible to vote based on recent activity or the date of their registration, which makes maximum turnout for the election 155 voters.

There 49 remaining eligible voters who have not cast a ballot. If everyone who is eligible to vote exercised that right, the quota would be 26.

The highest number of votes I can remember in my time here was something close to 140. So even it probably won't exceed 24. It'll probably end up being something just above 20.

Looks like the Senate will take a turn towards the center from my latest count (Polnut, Deus, JCL, Lumine, and Dr. Cynic being elected).

In some unused lagoon, some nameless bay,
On sluggish, lonesome waters, anchor'd near the shore,
An old, dismasted, gray and batter'd ship, disabled, done,
After free voyages to all the seas of earth, haul'd up at last and hawser'd tight,
Lies rusting, mouldering.

     So it looks like Labor only won one seat here. That hasn't happened in a while.

Keaton has voted in the Mideast Voting Booth but he is now registered in the Pacific. His vote is valid or not?

If I'm not wrong, the polls have closed in Pacific, Midwest, Northeast and IDS. The Ayes are majority in the Midwest and IDS. The Nays are majority in Pacific and Northeast.
So, considered that the Amendment needs to pass in 4 regions, we can project that the Amendment fails.

What about regular old consolidation?

I know. I think the numbers do show that there is a real appetite for change, however.  We shouldn't give up hope because of this setback!

I voted against it, I don't regret doing so. But I'd like to see a strong case as to what impact this would have long-term.

FTRA would need to be ratified and the consent process would need to occur before bicameralism could go into effect (as the amendment is written), or else we'd have a flustercuck of offices and the existing problem would become even more severe.

     I voted for this amendment because it would make consolidation marginally tolerable if such a thing were ever to occur. Any amendment that would actually enable consolidation is a definite nay from me.
