Confirmation Hearing: Fritz for Registrar General [CONFIRM'D]

[Bacon King]

You know what to do, Senators.

[tmthforu94]

How active do you hope to be on this, and what is your "vision" for the office?

[Fritz]

I plan to do precisely what the Forum Affairs Reform Act mandates: the voter registration list will be re-published at a minimum of every two weeks.  Also, there will be an updated list published on the last day any voter could register to vote prior to every federal election, which will not be updated again until after the election has passed.  Thus there will be no confusion.

The Census Bureau will also provide regular updates to numbers of total voters by region, and by party.

[Fritz]

One thing I should mention: I would prefer to complete my current term in the Senate before assuming this post, rather than resigning and leaving the Senate temporarily short-handed.  Unless there is a strong objection to this.

[Fritz]

Tmth asked about my "vision".  I'm starting to have some ideas about the Census Bureau's thread.  The first post will be the Voter Registration list, and that post will be continually edited as the list is updated.  Then in following posts, I will post the Census data by region and by party, in table format, like this:

                           POP     JCP   AFL-CIO   DA   SDP   Ind.    Total

Northeast

Southeast

Mideast

Midwest

Pacific

Total

These posts will be saved for historical record.

Thanks,

Would you use pictures and colors for each region, like Earl did? Would you also use the same "chart" that Franzl currently uses on his?

[Fritz]

I haven't given a lot of thought to the formatting.

I can't find Franz's chart you referred to?

[Bacon King]

Senators, there is now a final vote to confirm the nominee. Please vote aye, nay, or abstain.

[tmthforu94]

Aye
We had a nice discussion, Fritz

[Bacon King]

Aye

[Fritz]

Abstain out of propriety

btw, I will resign as Senator and begin my new post as soon as it appears all business for this session has been dealt with.

I will accept this as a valid aye vote, and let's pretend I let it count double as a bonus for flavor.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Aye

Will anyone hold your seat if you resign immediately, or will we be one person short for a while?

[Franzl]

I have total confidence in Fritz...and I'm sure he'll be more active with the voter roll than I ever was.

[Hans-im-Glück]

AYE

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Aye

[Bacon King]

With six votes in favor and one abstention, the nominee has been confirmed.

[Badger]

Aye, ftr.
