[03:37:52] <takyon_> about the election story
[03:38:10] <takyon_> do we move it up to whenever the election is called to prevent election runoff in unrelated stories?
[03:38:25] <takyon_> i haven't paid attention to the plan, despite being in IRC all this time
[03:38:29] <takyon_> I blame gentleman jack
[03:38:30] <cmn32480> yes
[03:38:35] <cmn32480> I just tossed it in the queue
[03:38:39] <takyon_> gotcha'
[03:38:41] <cmn32480> as a place holder
[03:38:42] <Bytram> good question...
[03:38:50] <takyon_> I'll add a couple of links in there to prepare it
[03:38:53] <cmn32480> anyone of us can fill in the basic details
[03:39:03] <cmn32480> Popular vote totals
[03:39:08] <cmn32480> Electoral vote totals.
[03:39:15] <Bytram> my thoughts are to make sure of the results before going live... don't want a repeat of the NY Post(?) Dewey Wins(?)
[03:39:16] <cmn32480> And the reminder to be civil
[03:39:23] <Bytram> wait for the concession speach, maybe?
[03:39:25] <cmn32480> yes
[03:39:28] <cmn32480> most definetly
[03:39:35] <Bytram> though, even that is not enough...
[03:39:55] <Bytram> ISTR that in 2000 one of 'em conceeded, then took it back, and then it went to the courts
[03:40:16] <takyon_> there could be mandatory recounts
[03:40:20] <cmn32480> we are gonna do the best we can.
[03:40:22] <takyon_> which could make the election undecided
[03:40:42] <cmn32480> *Pending any shenanigans
[03:40:51] <Bytram> ^^^ good idea
[03:41:14] <Bytram> who conceded and renged in 2000? wasn't it Gore?
[03:42:17] <cmn32480> Yep
[03:43:13] <Bytram> obliged
[03:43:27] <cmn32480> updated the placeholder in case of shenanigans
[03:43:37] <Bytram> k
[03:56:21] <Bytram> threre's a story noting that both major campaign sites were target of DDoS attacks... am scheduling it for Real Soon Now to help provide a target for political discussion atm... sound like a good idea?
[03:56:37] <Bytram> ^^^ ~eds

[03:57:17] <Bytram> would run the story at 04;10 or about 12 minutes from now; earlier if you want.
[04:00:58] <takyon_> I submitted that story as anonymous ;)
[04:01:02] <cmn32480> do it
[04:01:08] <Bytram> k
[04:01:10] <Bytram> is done
[04:01:31] <Bytram> rescheduled story about apes appearing to think about other's thoughts...\
[04:01:43] <Bytram> which almost sounds like this election cycl3e
[04:02:56] <takyon_> lol

[14:21:58] <takyon> why'd you remove the links to ballotpedia and cnn, cmn32480
