[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

I approve of the amendment.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Senators have 24 hours to object to the amendment.

[Lumine]

I object. Whilst I strongly supported keeping the six month non voting period to protect users who may stay away from Atlasia for some time (while remaining active elsewhere), I don't find it wise to eliminate activity requirements like that and I echo Poirot's concerns about zombie voters.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     the objection by Senator Lumine is registered. We are now voting on the amendment by Senator Mr. Reactionary. Senators have 72 hours to vote aye, nay, or abstain.

[_]

Abstain

[Pericles]

Aye.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Aye

[Lumine]

Nay.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

Aye

[Poirot]

I don't find it wise to eliminate activity requirements like that and I echo Poirot's concerns about zombie voters.

I guess this refers to the first paragraph in my post in the Congress discussion thread:

Abstain
I will introduce an amendment after this vote that would include a 5 posts in 8 weeks requirement in order to vote in federal elections which should be fair enough to satisfy concerns.

[Sestak]

Nay.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     With Senator Sestak replacing Pericles, the Amendment stands at two votes in favor, two against, and two abstentions. I will break the tie with nay. The amendment has failed and debate resumes.

Here is a new amendment changing the post requirement from 10 per 8 weeks to 5 per 8 weeks which should be a fair middle ground compromise in order to make it easier to vote while still maintaining a safeguard against zombie voting. Since I'm leaving the Senate soon, I would like for one of you to sponsor this amendment for me and assume sponsorship of the bill.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Bumping this since the Senate is ready to do business again. Would any sitting Senator like to sponsor former Senator LouisvilleThunder's amendment?

[Mr. Reactionary]

I guess i will to keep things moving.

     We may also want to have someone sponsor the bill too. If nobody moves to sponsor the bill within 24 hours I will bring this amendment up to a vote.

[wxtransit]

Since I was the House sponsor, I'll motion to sponsor this.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Senators have 24 hours to object to Senator wxtransit assuming sponsorship.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     With no objections, Senator wxtransit has assumed sponsorship. What is the sponsor's response to Amendment S12:02?

Amendment is friendly.

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

Let’s get this done

[wxtransit]

Alrighty, any questions still outstanding that we need to address? I'm not yet ready to call for a final vote, but if everyone else has also found nothing wrong with the bill, then I think we should.
