A BILL FOR AN ACT
allowing the Southern voter to cast a write-in vote using a sticker with candidate’s name on it

BE IT ENACTED BY THE SOUTHERN CHAMBER RESOLVED.

Section 1, TITLE AND CLARIFICATIONS.
1. The title of this Act shall be, the "New Stick It To The Man Act."
2. This bill shall only apply to elections for offices with a write-in option.
3. This bill shall apply to all election precincts under the Southern Region’s authority, even if not for a regional office.

Section 2, TEXT.
1. On the write-in section of a paper ballot, the voter may affix a sticker on their ballot in said section indicating the candidate’s name.
2. If voting for a presidential ticket for president and vice president, this sticker may contain the names for both candidates on the ticket, although it is not required.
3. So long as the sticker is clearly legible, no vote counter in the Southern Region shall reject or delegitimize an election ballot on the sole basis of a write-in sticker being placed on it.
4. Due to the potential of causing paper jams or damage to election equipment, a precinct must place a clear warning on its ballot if votes are counted using ballot scanners.
5. By no means should this bill, either in part or in whole, should be construed as ever requiring the banning the usage of voting machines or affecting the actual presence of voting machines or lack thereof.
6. $100 million dollars will be allocated to allow for a mechanical equivalent of a write-in sticker to be developed and put in effect.

Section 3, ENACTMENT CLAUSE.
1. This legislation shall take effect for all elections starting on or after the first day of March in 2021.

I think this might be a good compromise measure that would have broader support than the original and narrows down the impact of the bill to what it was intended to.

At this time, while the Governor's amended version is an improvement, I don't fully support the justification behind this bill and don't believe this is the best use of taxpayer dollars. I will start a final vote later tonight, unless there is objection.
