Je parraine cette loi.

[Lechasseur]

Did you actually write all that in French? It's very good

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Forced Bilingual ability? Seeming to give priority to French in Communications? Criticizing English?

Yeah...No, just No. I know I've been okay with some meme bills before but given this would require us to rewrite our election ballot scripts to conform to it - yeah, No.

I had some help trying to figure out the tenses, which is always difficult, but otherwise yes. I minored in French.

Yeah...No, just No. I know I've been okay with some meme bills before but given this would require us to rewrite our election ballot scripts to conform to it - yeah, No.

This is not a meme bill. French deserves official status in this region.

Also, the bill specifies the ballots must be made available, not by default, so the current status quo for posting the voting threads would continue.

[Continential]

This is further proof that Wulfric is a bigot.

I guess with that assurance, I will Abstain from the vote but not backing declaring  French is greater than English.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Seeing no further debate or amendments, I move to open this to a final vote, which will commence in 24 hours if there are no objections.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Final vote is now open.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Abstain

[S019]

Hey just popping in, but as the Elections Secretary, I am not making bilingual ballots, if someone else would like to that, they are more than welcome to do so.

[RC (a la Frémont)]

Nay

[Continential]

Hey just popping in, but as the Elections Secretary, I am not making bilingual ballots, if someone else would like to that, they are more than welcome to do so.

I’ll do that.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Aye

[Never Made it to Graceland]

All votes are in.

Aye - 1
Nay - 1
Abstain - 1

The bill goes to Governor Dave for the tiebreaker.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Due to acquired lack of sponsorship and the failure of the Governor to make a decision while sponsorship existed, this bill has failed.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

Due to acquired lack of sponsorship and the failure of the Governor to make a decision while sponsorship existed, this bill has failed.

A true disgrace to Lincoln history.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

This is further proof that Wulfric is a bigot.

It is probably due to a latent anti-Catholic prejudice. We know he hates the Irish, it is unsurprising that he also hates the French!
