DWTL Emergency Senate Campaign Headquarters

[Torie]

Fmr. Sen. DownWithTheLeft called a press confrence this afternoon to annouce the following:

Due to Sam's shocking announcement, as many of you probably already know, I have entered the race for Southeast senate.  Anyone who wishes to ask questions/post endorsement of me may do so here.  As a new policy, I will not respond to all comments if they are meant solely as shots at my campaign

BTW, to soothe the concerns of some, I would not introduce any new bills in the first two months of my term

What was his shocking announcement?

Deregistration, Mr. Acting SoFA. You should've noticed.

Technically, I never handed over the voter lists to Inks... I was more concerned with his handling of the election than the voting registrations and deregistrations in the meantime.  And, oh yeah, that reminds me: I have to process that deregistration.

Is it "legal" to de-register?  I have never heard of such a thing.

Election Loophole-Fixer Amendment (alright we can find a better name)

1. To change the wording in Article I, Section I, Clause 2 of the Constitution from "No Person shall be a Senator who has not attained a hundred or more posts, and is not a registered voter in the District or Region that they represent." to "No Person shall be elected to the senate or serve as a Senator who has not attained a hundred or more posts, and is not a registered voter in the District or Region that they represent at any time from ten days prior the beginning of the election until after their senate tenure is over"

Any opinions?

I think anyone should be able to be a candidate, whether registered or not,  and one can vote for anyone whether registered or not or declared as a candidate. The only restriction would be that one must declare residence in a region to be eligible for senate elections where only that region's voters can vote in the race. Additional restrictions to my mind serve no useful purpose.  The right to vote and the right to run, or be eligible to take office should not be joined at the hip. Voters should be afforded maximum choices. It might make the game more fun, and realistic for that matter.

Just that this only gets half of the problem solved.  The other half is changing the start times of elections from "midnight" to "12:00:01 AM."

That obviously is a needed "clarification."
