Not 100% sure if this is allowed (I have it on good word that it is), but the senator currently sponsoring this bill in the senate has quite large bill queue and it is unlikely to be brought up before the election there. I am brining this to the house so that we can address these issues before the upcoming election and work to fight against zombie voting and offsite recruitment in a bipartisan fashion.
