Veto is SUSTAINED 11-4-1-2 (2/3 majority NOT achieved)

Until and unless a court orders otherwise, the PPT ruling on the validity of the veto itself is that it is valid as it was posted in the same hour and minute as the deadline. This was not true for the case of a ballot cast by TimTurner several years ago that some cite as precedent.

The bill has failed.
