Election Certification Clarity Act (Tabled)

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

So, the amendment has been adopted, yes?

[Senator Cris]

So, the amendment has been adopted, yes?

Yes

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

2.2: I like it, but I am concerned it is an invitation for trolling with faux lawsuits delaying results.

I will not object though, as it is the best iteration of this bill so far.

Good point. Perhaps we could add a subsection (d) along the lines of "or (d) the Secretary shall demonstrate the compliance of the Contested aspect of the Preliminary Count with all applicable Laws and Regulations" ?

How complex would the process of compliance in such fashion beat? Would it turn the process into effect the equivalent of a Surpeme Court ruling in terms of the time and effort required and thereby make it more difficult to find people willing to administer elections?

This bill is still on the table. I will now extend debate for an additional 48 hours. If there is no objection following that, we will then move on to a 24-hour vote on the final bill, with Senator Truman's amendment.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I support the bill.

Fair point. Perhaps we should just scrap 2.2 completely and require a Preliminary Count after 24 hours and a Final Count after 72?

In any case, I believe this bill should have been tabled, as no Senator assumed sponsorship after Dkrol resigned.

     The concern that led to this bill was more to do with haphazard work on the part of the SoFE resulting from certifying the results to quickly and not taking care. Setting a maximum time to certify is rather pointless.

[Potus]

Motion to table.

[Clark Kent]

Motion to table.

Looking for a second...

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I second the motion to table.

[Clark Kent]

We will now move to a 24-hour vote on whether to table this bill or not.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]
