As Secretary of Forum Affairs, I must urge every Senator to reject this  bill.  First of all, this adds too much bureaucracy to the already large government.  Also, there is no way to make sure that the SoFA will count the ballots correctly and not for personal gain.  Once again, please take this bill off the table as soon as possible.

Ok people get it straight, there's three people on the commite to count the votes, I doubt they'll all be in on it because they wouldn't all be in the same party.

But Atlasia isn't always based on ideology.  For example, both Keystone Phil and I do not have positive views of Harry.  In my opinion, the current system is fine.

I'm starting to like this bill more and more (that doesn't mean I support it yet).  Voting late to make certain candidates win is a bad thing.  I think people should vote based on who they believe should be President, not who is in the lead and they don't like.

With this amendment and the recent controversies, I urge the Senate to accept this bill.

I have an idea about how to implement this Secret Ballot but yet keep a running total and keep preliminary results available. What we have is once a secret ballot is sent to the SoFA that ballot is placed in a special stickied thread on the Fantasy Elections board. Their is no name on the ballot and the entire vote is kept anonymous. This would allow people to see secret ballots and be able to come up with up to date results that would help discussions while keeping the ballots of people who voted by secret ballot anonymous and secret. I think that this is a good compromise between the people who want to keep public ballots due to fun and those that want to see a secret ballot due to voter intimidation.

This would also keep the write-ins down as you can tell what people's votes by their ballot.

Just a quick question, who is on the committee?
