From my understanding, this aims to avoid a repeat of the event colloquialy known as the Great Green Panty Raid.
Poirot has supported having special elections since the reset happened.

I'll do a separate post on why we should have this amendment.

Here is my post on why we should have this amendment.


I don't see how it puts a strain on Peebs considering that there will likely be two/three candidates and elections happen a couple times a year and there would have been the exceptional number of five special elections since the year started.

  • tack when he resigned to take office as Senator following Peanut's assention to the VPship
  • LT when he resigned to take office as Senator
  • RC when he resigned for personal reasons
  • Laki because of the Green Raid or whatever you call it
  • Adam Griffin because of the Georgia Runoff I guess
One of them could have been done (tack) with the loophole of being appointed to a office and serving in both I'm pretty sure.

Like Lumine said, there was Special At-Large Senate elections, (so basically the At-Large Senate was the House but with 5 At-Large Senators and with unicameralism) since the first constitution to the reset when the House was created.

Unless if there are voters who are only online around the elections, which I highly doubt there are, and by your standard, elections like the Fremonter/Southern/Lincolner regional elections should be held alongside the Presidential/Midterm elections. For instance the November Lincoln Gubertorial Election, even after it was held in November and was delayed by a week got 6 votes less then the August 2020 Senate race, which was the most competitive race in a while.

So I don't see how it is burdensome for the voter, to be honest.

Edit: I'll catch up with the consersation later.

So beautiful that the sponsor withdraws it.
