Secret Ballot Bill (Law'd)

[DownWithTheLeft]

Nay, the potential for compromised PMs is there as well as the fact that I like being able to manipulate results

[DownWithTheLeft]

Amendment
The following shall be added as clause 3 and subsequent clauses to be renumbered accordingly:
"The sending of a ballot to the SoFA by personal message shall be considered permission for either the sender or the recipient to publicly publish the message."

I think I'm confused by this but wouldn't this defeat the purpose of a secret ballot as the SoFA could immediatley post the ballot sent to them?

Thinking it over, I may vote "aye" to send this to the people, but there is no way I can support this.

This bill will be nothing but bad for Atlasia.  It makes the game more complex and confusing alienating many who may have joined.  It also eliminates the discusssion that goes on while the votes are coming in, arguably the most excitement few days of the cycle in Atlasia.  It also eliminates the age old Atlasia practice of voting based on totals.  The recent scandal in the last election was nothing but a good thing for the game, people actually had something to discuss.

I urge all Senators to vote against this: it would needlesly complicate elections, reduce turnout, make the game less interesting and introduce the possibility of fraud.

Which is true, but this amendment does not do enough damage where the voice of the people shouldn't be heard.

Abstain for the time, I'll change to Aye if the vote looks like it needs one to pass
