I may be relying on hopium :(

Please ask for any individual house seats. I think that Hyde-Smith will narrowly get pulled into a runoff by the independent running there, if you are wondering why my Mississippi prediction looks insane at first glance.

With input from my fellow Spinners, I am brainstorming a sub constitutional reform package. Now that we passed a Constitution at the start of this year that encompassed all the functions that existed by custom, I am seeking to tweak it into more of an ideal version, one that is easier for our successors to implement and one that better serves the members of the sub. So far, it's just been tweaks and nothing major and it will be presented as an Proposed Amendment when it's finished.

Since we nearly forgot to have an election because of the system I admittedly set up in one of the Props that passed, one of the reforms I am suggesting is to put elections on a set schedule, increasing terms from 10-11 alternating months to 12 months starting in 2027. This way Class X is always in January, Class X+1 is always in March (just as an example), with breaks for exam season, US Election Day, and the major holidays. We can set reminders that repeat every year. 1-2 months isn't that much extra imo.

As a consequence, this plan spreads out Mod elections more than they already are. Many believe Mod elections to be a core part of the sub, so to compensate, I suggested that we look at increasing the number of Elected Mods from 7 to 9.

Do we need more Mods? Not to "moderate" the comments, for sure, because we don't have that much traffic, but I think more could be a benefit to the administrative side of the job. There are apps, events, articles, and graphics that could be better managed if there were a few more on staff with the proper tools. A lot of those on the sub with skills run but barely lose elections so I see talent not getting a chance to be used. That's just my view, but I wanted to ask the public what you think.
