This is an amendment I have pursued before, and I believe that this legislation will help Atlasia.

From what I have seen from lurking old threads, special Senate elections generated activity since everyone, not only the inhabitants of one region or subregion could decide the outcome of the election. Presidential elections produce more turnout and more activity then Midterm elections, which don't have a election where there is only one winner for a national race.

The gist of my argument is that national elections with one winner produce more activity, and Senate special elections have produced activity and some pretty interesting elections. I support and introduced this amendment because I believe that Senate special elections will help make the game more active, which is something this game so desperately needs.

Come on, man.

I am a single issue pro-special elections Senator and a contrarian at heart.
