Aye: 4
Nay: 1
I'm not counting Marokai's vote....don't think I'm allowed to now that he's no longer a senator.
Two more votes in favor are necessary for passage.
Basis?
In theory, I'd argue that, considering the total number of senators determines how many votes in favor are required for passage, that it would be impossible to count the vote of someone who no longer belongs to the body.
Of course it could also be argued that the number of senators when the vote begins is relevant, I guess....
Not really. No votes are final until the PPT declares it so. Marokai is unable to change his vote, being a non-Senator. If Marokai is to have his vote be counted differently (unable to change) that is a conflict.
