S.18.20: Southern Senate Elections Amendment (Debating)

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

As the original sponsor of the "changing election dates" bill, I think that changing Senate elections to match up with other federal elections is not only good, but it's something that should've been painfully obvious to the people who wrote our region's constitution.

Nonetheless, our Delegates can now fix this issue. I see the argument for keeping regional elections separate, since I guess we're going for a Virginia-off-year-election kind of vibe, but the federal elections shouldn't be separate.

I've been thinking about this (and the various versions of it) for a while now and I think YT's above comment (which has also been repeated by a few others) is the best option.

I would encourage my former colleagues and successors in the Chamber to vote for a bill that [1.] aligns Senate elections with other federal elections but [2.] maintains Governor and Chamber elections to be on their own schedule.
