[ExI] oh hey, why didn't we do this sooner...

[Dylan Distasio]

Fair enough, and I apologise for the tone.  I agree in and of themselves
there is nothing wrong with either procedure, but as the US social fabric
continues to fray, I fear this election is going to be a disaster if it is
a close one so I would prefer a blow out regardless of winner.

The patchwork of state laws around election procedures is going to
exacerbate discord if things are close even without any fraud.
