SB 110-10: The People Should Decide Amendment (Tabled)

[S019]

The reasoning behind pushing this is absurd. It’s very clear that voters in Atlasia vote based on party, not individuals, for the most part. A special election for the whole seat also may not be representative of the outcome that the voters desired in the general election. Say that the at large Senate split 5 left to 4 right, but one of the right wing candidates couldn’t take their seat and then the left narrowly wins the ensuing special, clearly a 6-3 left breakdown is not representative of what the voters wanted. This amendment is not democratic, it is a power grab masquerading as an expansion of democracy. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote this down.
