I wonder which type it is that they're voting on though as there's at least three variants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranked_voting_system

I can see the Republicans trying to fight it or rig it in a way to favor them though

Holy cow! Trump is doing something actually commendable AND it isn't transparently self-serving?

Dear goodness finally.

How could universes with some particular quality possibly end up depleted, if there actually are infinite universes?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

There are only 255 universes, any more would cause a stack overflow. The others are empty now. Here, 2016, is the last one where life endures.

My, my, someone sprung for the upgraded model.  Back in my day, we had 15 universes and one null case, and that's the way we liked it.

What? Someone took a zero-based, byte-indexed array and didn't use the first slot? No wonder the universe is in the state it's in, if that's the kind of sloppy programming used to make it...  And GRBs are just RGB underflows, I bet, causing a momentary glitch in the background...

[TheBiggerFish]

Don't forget null, Starver, but then...That is a universe.

Ah yes, the most modern and dumbest form of solipsism rears it's ugly head, thanks 2016, thwentysixteen.

Huh, apparently Trumps warning of voter fraud led one Trump voter to vote twice. Seems to have been a 'spur of the moment' thing because she was afraid her vote would get switched around or something and didn't plan on doing it again. AKA stupidity.

The key point here is that it, along with two others, was caught before it became a problem and before it was double-counted. Also, rather ironic that the voting fraud came from a Republican voter rather than a Democrat voter, given that Trump is the one spouting the claims.

[Neonivek]

Hey Republicans wouldn't have to cheat if the Democrats would just run a fair election

[Loud Whispers]

A lot harder to dismiss aforementioned claims whilst listening to their opponent talk about rigging elections

So the prophecy has been fulfilled at last, two weeks before the election? Alas, Moses will see the Promised Land, but will not be permitted to set foot in it...

I gotta say though, I'm kinda proud of you guys. When I started this thread nobody believed it would last even just fifty pages, and now we're at 620 already and going strong.

* Helgoland approvingly pats everyone on the head.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Maybe...but was it worth the cost? We destroyed so many lives getting this far.

Spoiler: One has perished, just as prophesied (click to show/hide)

We'll most likely have another irc running on election night*. If anyone has a way to contact mainiac via other channels, he's always welcome to join us over there.

_{*I hope; I live too far away from my normal crowd to join in their festivities this cycle so it'll just be me and you internet phantoms.}
