SENATE BILL: Fair Deregistration Rights Act (Law'd)

[Napoleon]

Of someone wants to deregister, they should stop voting. I agree with Hagrid and oppose this and any other form of deregistration "reform". The current system works.

[Napoleon]

All this does is enable the crybabies. Deregister me, I am leaving forever!!! Then they come back in two weeks and want to run for President. Not on my watch.

[Napoleon]

So yeah, your opposition is based out of some sort of borderline psychotic attempt at teaching those evil "crybabies" a lesson. Forgive me for wanting a bit more of a reason to be swayed against this optional idea.

uh no. Please read my posts before offering a lame response. I specified rather clearly that I agree with Senator Hagrid on this.

[Napoleon]

AGain, no one is actually making that argument.

[Napoleon]

You can't really police things like that, Marokai. Seatown got off, for example. Has anyone looked into why Freefair invalidated his vote? I am sure he was instructed to by a higher up in his party. That's unrealistic.

Anyway, the best way to deal with so-called zombies is to find ways to incorporate them into the game. For example, if I am retained as Internal Affairs chair, we will hold hearings on these drug bills and many people will be invited to share their opinions on the subject. There's no reason to encourage downsizing Atlasia when the focus should actually be on finding ways to increase participation.

If people want to remove themselves from the voter rolls, it is psychotic and controlling to refuse to let them because you think you know better. That is the only thing this entire debate boils down to.

There will be no massive flood of deregistration, there isn't going to be any serious incidents of weird deregistration encouragement (of which I can't imagine anyone falling for), and participation is not a matter which can be forced. This isn't a pro-deregistration ad campaign, this is a bill allowing for the option of removing yourself from the voter rolls if that is your decision, an idea that has never actually been controversial, ever. All the arguments being presented against this idea are perverse and astonishing in how plain and matter-of-factly you're just laying out the pro voter-harassment stuff as if it is a part of the game that is at all desirable. This bill should be passed, and people should be free to make their own decisions free from the harassment of anyone, left, right, and corrupt center.

Im not in the business of harassing voters- maybe Hagrid is, I don't know- but we already have a reregistration system for those who truly do not want to participate in Atlasia- stop participating in Atlasia. All this does is enable the crybabies and make a system needlessly more complex. Its not like were trapping people here forever- they choose to remain a member everytime they vote. Is there anyone who wants to deregister? If so, I haven't heard from them but I would recommend that person refrain from voting in future elections.
