SoFA Absence Bill

[True Democrat]

Section 2 strikes me as poorly written, but I can't think of any suggestions at the moment.

For Section 1, there would be a redundancy as the President pro tempore would inevitably be one of the people mentioned in spots six through fifteen on that list.

It was kind of hard to write section two.  Do you get my intent though?

One half hour?  Are you insane?

Anyway, Alcon will probably be the locker/unlocker this time around (Pacific time zone and all), but... I mean... whatever happened to people reading the first post on the thread which said that voting would start at midnight Friday and end midnight Sunday?

It just means that you have to either close the voting booth or mention that you are certifying the results within one half hour of its closing.  You don't actually have to have the results yet.

Assuming secret voting takes effect, that could be illegal (as the only way I can think of to show that you're certifying the results is showing votes).

Or, at the least, it could make things complicated.

Well, secret voting will still take a while to take affect, so this is basically a plan until secret votingh takes affect.

I do not see why anyone is really opposed to this bill.  It only comes into effect if the SoFA or DSoFA does not show that they are online within one half hour of an election's end.

[True Democrat]

Aye, though I expect it to fail.

[True Democrat]

So, one more Aye vote and this passes.
