Your honors,
I am filing suit against the Senate of Atlasia due to the appointment of "Wulfric" to the Atlasian Senate.
I am filing the suit for the two reasons which would be outlined below, with no registered citizen of Atlasia being named Wulfric, and because the Ka Hui Kūwaena o Ka Hui Liliʻuokalani fell under the threshold needed to constitute as a major party, the seat should be filled by special election.
I hereby appoint Wulfric to the Seat vacated by Laki
This is the appointment I am referring to.
Firstly, section 1a of the Census Act states that the census must list the username of every registered voter in Atlasia. In the census conducted by the Registar General of Atlasia, there is no voter which goes by the name of "Wulfric", thereby meaning that party chair Lawer has appointed nobody and the seat shall be declared unfilled as no citizen has been appointed to fill the seat.
Furthermore, according to Article 3, Section 1, 4 of the constitution, it is stated that "No person shall be a Senator who has not attained two hundred or more posts", in which there is no user named Wulfric with two hundred or more posts.
1. The Cabinet member assigned the portfolio of Census Administrator shall maintain a census document listing all registered voters in Atlasia. For each voter, the census shall list:
a. Their permanent Atlas Forum username
b. The federal and regional political parties they are registered with
c. The state they are registered in
d. The region they reside in
e. Whether or not the voter voted or attempted to vote in each of the last three federal elections.
f. If, according to the provisions of this act, a voter is presently ineligible to move regions, the date by which they shall become eligible to move regions
No person shall be a Senator who has not attained two hundred or more posts, nor whose account is fewer than fourteen hundred and forty hours old, nor shall any person be a regional or subregional senator who is not a citizen of the region or subregion they are chosen to represent.
Secondly, according to Article 3, Section 2, 1, iii of the Constitution it is stated that "should a vacancy occur as the result of the death, expulsion, or resignation of an at-large Senator not being a member of a major Party, then a special election shall be held". According to section 6 of the Census Act, it is stated that a major party constitutes as having three or more registered voters. Due to the deregistration of Lakigigar, the party fell below the threshold to be classified as a major party and thus the vacant seat held by Lakigigar must go to a special election.
iii. At-large Senate vacancies shall be filled through appointment by the executive of the former Senator’s Party; but should a vacancy occur as the result of the death, expulsion, or resignation of an at-large Senator not being a member of a major Party, then a special election shall be held within twenty days of the vacancy to choose a replacement to serve the remainder of the existing term.
6. For census purposes, a major party will be defined as having three or more registered users being part of them, minor and other parties with less than three users registering for them will be classified in "other".
I thank the Court for its time.
Best,
The Op
