I'll say it again, the NOTA Act is another big government agenda to make elections more confusing. I will not let this become law.

Having examined the legislation once again, I must agree with President PBrunsel.  This will just make elections more confusing, and will inevitably result in special elections which do not nearly get as much attention as the original election.

I vote nay

Sad

Senator, holding grudges instead of voting on principle?!?!

This is the epitome of despicable lame duck behavior.

I do agree with you. Even though I understand where the President is coming from, I still think an NOTA option enhances the Atlasian voter's freedom of choice. But if I were in your situation, I would vote for what I believed in. I can assure the public that if I were ever to become a lame duck, in any situation, I would not stop standing up for what i believe.

Aye 7- Nay 1 - Abstain 1, but I don't if this vote is valid as the PPT never opened voting for an override. JFK can choose if he wants everybody to vote again or just certify 7-1-1 as the official vote.

I abstain upon voting.

That is I believe 7 votes in favour to 1 against with 1 abstention.

The President's veto has been overridden.

I'll do what I can to strike this out of forum law.

I deeply oppose the NOTA Act.
