space. 

 looks like elections involve date cut-offs, so thankfully i'll just crash now instead of saving an extra space a bunch of times in order to gain rights to post this rant on some random fuckin vote-related discussion page.  x number by x date or you don't vote.  seems like the wrong variables to pick unless you have programmed into it that the people that don't meet muster don't get offered the chance to vote only to have it withdrawn.  it's a matter of politeness and common decency, ya dumb insensitive fucks..  it amounts to nothing more than the online discourse version of a fucking handjob.  don't offer people down the vote-path if you don't have at the very fucking least a manner for them to half-way kid themselves into thinking they've voted. ;)olc
