Guess I don't see any reason to oppose this legislation, though I'm unsure if we really need it. But what the hell, why not?

     I guess I'll abstain. While it does nothing harmful, it doesn't seem to do anything useful either.

It does nothing, except, of course, to punish people who are breaching their sentence for an earlier crime committed in Atlasia.

     But since their vote would never be counted, them breaching their sentence is meaningless. That would be like punishing armed robbers by binding their hands in such a way that they could not possibly use a weapon, & then passing a law saying that they cannot possess a firearm while in this state. It's a pointless gesture.

Though we should keep it how it is right now I believe the intention of this bill is for people using other accounts for voting since they themselves are banned so maybe adding that on would be a good idea.

That would already be covered by voter fraud in the CCJA.

This does apply to people using their main account

From what I can understand, this law is meant for people that are currently banned from voting, but attempt to do so anyway with their main account.

Example:

If Benconstine were to attempt to vote in the current Mideast election, that would be a criminal offense under this proposition....but currently, it would not be punishable at all.

Not that I believe Benconstine would try that....not at all.

But I do tend to support this legislation.

I call for a vote on final passage with Smid's amendment included which was accepted by Lief as friendly.

Aye: 5 (HappyWarrior, Franzl, Realisticidealist, MasterJedi, Smid)
Nay: 3 (DWTL, PiT, SPC)

not voting: 2 (Lief, Bacon King)



We're really falling into inactivity....I hope we can get this done here.

Theoretically, aren't ALL laws in Atlasia pointless? Smiley
