SENATE BILL: Empowering Regions in Federal Elections Amendment (sent to regions)

[Bacon King]

A few thoughts on this bill:

I think it'd be a lot better to keep Presidential elections centralized. Having a single Federal official certify all ballots adds a lot of consistency when it's a nationwide election.

You might want to specify in Section 3 that regions can only allow registered citizens to participate the election.

Also, you might want to put some sort of restriction on the election methods that regions may use for their Senate seats- For example, I don't know how you guys would feel about a region electing two Senators that each counted as half a Senator and thus got half a vote (or, taken to a extreme, a region that elects every citizen to the Senate, each with a fraction of a vote. This would be fun, but a nightmare for the PPT!).

Also, you should probably specify whether the Constitution's prohibitions against dual office holding would still count for the Class A Senate seats.

And that doesn't mean Teddy cannot still verify them nationally just because they are all not in one thread.

This bill takes away the certification powers of the SOFA for Presidential and Class A Senate elections, though, so it actually would mean he couldn't verify them.

I understand you have a knack for identifying preposterous possible loophole interpretations in anything, but this is one I'm just not seeing, sorry. I even accepted Napoleon's amendment to remove the region's ability to certify election results, to keep it in the hands of the SoFE.

Ah, my bad- I missed the friendly amendment.

Also, not sure whether to take that first bit as a compliment or an insult
