    Personally I would have liked for the runner up in the last election to automatically fill in for you if you can’t make it, or if that would lead to too much inconsistency if after missing ten sessions they got replaced by the runner up until the next election.

    It’s desperately needed, and in some senses it doesn’t go far enough.

    Regressives held our state government hostage via superminority rule and actively forced us to compromise on their inhuman policies to make any progress for three straight years. Without this, only a rewrite to our state constitution’s quorum rule would prevent eternal hell regressives holding our state hostage via minority rule.

    Now, we can at least revoke these turds after they fuck us over. But in the grand scheme of things, I worry that what this law doesn’t do is prevent this new cycle from repeating. It doesn’t take many of them ruling over a few tiny, horribly misinformed districts to screw us all over. In other words, it only takes a tiny number of regressive candidates each year to accomplish that goal.

    Sorta makes you yearn for the days when the governor’s interest in the underage was the largest political problem.

    One thing this seemingly could set up is alternating candidates, essentially power sharing over terms while retaining the ability to flout the rules.
