Can't we try and flip votes?  

Any committee member with the “Debate” trait has a 5-6 die roll chance of flipping one Committee Vote in their favor. If they have “magician,” then they can attempt two flips.  If a committee member has their vote flipped twice by debate in one half-term, then they gain “pliable” (50/50 die roll).

Orris Ferry and John Ingalls both have debate, and will try and flip Provide Funds to Decrease Illiteracy to AYE.

Orris Ferry 1/6 Fail

John Ingalls 1/6 Fail

Also, and this is minor, the vote for Decrease Illiteracy should be tied 10-10, which is still a fail since it didn't get a majority.  That is until my master debaters rise up.

I put 10-11?  Dang it I thought I hit 0 so yes it was 10-10 tied fail.  Just changed it online

It was you who brought the law in??? I even made the comment saying may the dice rolls be in my favor?

Haha- you're right. I was super busy last week and no doubt messed that up. Fortunately in the legislative phase there's several opportunities to catch a mistake. Sorry for missing your attempts to bring attention to it.
