This will streamline the electoral process and give us one, instead of five, amendment voting booths. It is a common sense reform.

Just FTR, a less radical proposal (the "Ratification Amendment") was rejected by three of the five regions and a majority of the people voting barely two months ago. There is absolutely no need for the Senate to pass this, especially because this amendment is clearly anti-region.

And?

Except for the extreme reactionaries who would let the Regions write all the laws of Atlasia if they had their way, I cannot fathom opposition to this bill. It is democratic, it is fair, and it is equitable. I ask the Senate to give this amendment a chance.

Nay.

A majority is good enough to elect public officials, it should be good enough to amend the Constitution.

Just to clarify, how would that work, bore?

The wording may not be perfect, but the intention is that if an amendment gets either 60% of the vote, or the support of two thirds of the regions, it'll pass.

So there would be multiple voting booths open?

I'd be much more comfortable with one booth and requiring 2/3rds of the vote rather than multiple voting booths.

This has enough votes to fail, Senators have 24 hours to change their votes.

It's tied.

I'll be reintroducing this, fwiw. Maybe the next Senate won't be full of reactionaries who care more about "regoonal rites" than good policy
