It's amazing how people can mock the idea of subverting elections as long as it's not their candidate who lost. Many similar concerns were raised during the election by people who hold very different political views than most HN readers, and yet these concerns were written off and publicly mocked. Now the shoe is on the other foot but nobody is willing to point out the partisan hypocrisy.

And yes, throwaway account because HN tends to get very uncivil about this subject.
