Legitimize the Voting Act of 2010 (Law'd)

[Franzl]

While I am in favor of this legislation, I see a significant problem in that the job of moderator is not a position in the Atlasian government.  The moderators are responsible only to Dave, and we have no authority to compel them to do anything.  Thus, we would be giving thee moderators a job they did not ask for, may or may not want, and we cannot replace them if the job is not done.  Am I missing something here?

The Supreme Court defined moderators as a sort of "police force" in Atlasia v. Keystone Phil....whether or not they want it, and that was also the reason the charges against Sewer Socialist were thrown out last time.

That said, yeah you're right, it does require cooperation with the moderators.

That's what is missing in this law....a way to actually enforce it. I have no way of checking these things myself when I certify the vote in a particular election. Otherwise though, I think registering to vote or voting from a proxy is a bad idea.

I have no doubts that the moderators would fully cooperate...but don't you think it might be important, from a legal perspective, to clearly mention that any and all IP checks are performed by the two Atlas moderators?

Indeed. We need to make it clear that the mods are required to check everybody.

Some specific procedure should also be mandated, like publicly declaring the information in the DoFA thread. Just as a matter of procedure.
