Where I vote Present without explanation it's because I don't feel the need for the change and don't particularly wish to make Aris even richer.
I vote as follows: On Sunday, June 7, 2020 12:01:57 AM CDT Aris Merchant via agora-official wrote: > I hereby distribute each listed proposal, initiating the Agoran > Decision of whether to adopt it, and removing it from the proposal > pool.

FOR (this is also another piece of evidence that we're over-applying switches/ a relatively common situation we should deal with some other way - it's useful important to know the pending status of a proposal up until it's assessed, and then it's not. But switches don't really provide a good mechanism for that.) > 8414l Aris 2.0 Ministerial Reshuffling PRESENT > 8415* Aris 3.0 Proposal Recycling Initiative PRESENT > 8416* Falsifian, G., P.S.S. 3.1 Identity theft protection act v1.1 FOR > 8417l Aris, G. 1.0 PPPPPP [1] FOR > 8418* Aris 3.0 Referenda PRESENT; recent discussion makes me want to revisit something like this after more consideration > 8419f Aris 2.0 Executive Expansion AGAINST; Pardon is broken. If someone expunged blots from a fine that e didn't get a pardon for, that fine can be specified. Additionally not a fan of this much power for the PM. > 8420f G. 2.0 Checks and balances FOR > 8421e nch, Trigon 1.0 Transmutation FOR > 8422* P.S.S., [2] 3.0 No More Numbers! FOR > 8423f P.S.S., G. 2.0 Removing Repetition AGAINST; as stated before I think this text provides clarity to the rules. > 8424l Aris, nch, P.S.S. 1.0 Certifiable Patches AGAINST; would be persuaded to FOR if these patches weren't eligible for coins or card awards. Circumvention of costs should mean forfeiture of reward. > 8425j Aris 2.0 Impossibility Defense PRESENT > 8426j Aris 2.0 Impracticability Defense PRESENT > 8427j R. Lee 2.0 Slap on the wrist FOR; 0 blot penalties seem like a good addition for certain circumstances. > 8428* Aris 3.0 Pending Pends PRESENT > 8429j Aris 1.7 Why Limit Clemency? PRESENT > 8430p P.S.S., G. 2.0 Silver Quill 2016 FOR -- nch
