Constitutional amendments need 2/3 majority, which in this case would be 6 in favor 3 opposed.  4 opposed would kill it

     I see four nays. That's enough votes for this amendment to fail.

I would like to encourage Senators to vote Aye on this so this matter can be decided by the people.

     What would be the point of the Senate voting on it then? In that case, they should just push through all amendments so that they can be decided on by the people.

In general, that's usually how I've approached most of my votes.  When there is something to be decided that fundamentally changes the way the game is played, then everyone should be involved on the decision.

     Interesting. Looks like the public won't decide on this issue this time though.

This vote has enough votes to fail. Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.

Oh well. Next session.

     & there won't be a vacancy, so it will be 5-5 instead of 5-4. Nice to see that I get to run for a regional Senate seat come October. Smiley Campaigning is more fun when you have a definite opponent.

     No. It's just that campaigning with only one opponent allows for other strategies to be more effectively utilized, like negative campaigning & targetting likely supporters for GOTV. With only one opponent, there's not the chance that supporters of the guy you're smearing will go to some other candidate. Wink

I'll introduce it again next session, I'm just predicting it won't pass until the third time it's introduced. Smiley
