Right, while Haslam shows up I'll express a concern of mine. Do we really need this? Don't get me wrong, the idea of making it easier for people to vote is a laudable one, but it's not like elections are simulated in Atlasia with a voting public of millions, it's just the players themselves that vote.

Then we have to account for the fact that a Federal Holiday or a regional one has an economic cost in terms of money (possibly hundreds of millions depending on the estimate) and productivity. And this would mean at least six days a year in federal terms, and a few more when it comes to the regions.

Long story short, I can't help but to think this the unintended consequence of this will be economic self-harm without there being an actual necessity for this (for it doesn't have a practical effect on players).

Still waiting on Haslam here to provide some extra context. As it stands and because of my unanswered economic concern, I don't think I can vote for this.

Where do we stand from this? I'd really like to hear from the sponsor, otherwise I may consider a motion to table this particular bill.

I haven't heard from the sponsor in 18 days, so I file a motion to table. Do I have a seconder?

(If Halsam does explain his bill I'll withdraw the motion, but I feel it's important that sponsors show up)

Amendment adopted. I'll consider Reactionary's post a motion for a final vote (I realize it's probably a conceptual difference rather than us meaning something different), so there's a few hours left for objections to that.

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