is software political? it sounds like this computer bug is very political
in Arizona they require proof of citizenship for state and local elections because GOP
they had a shortcut to determine if you're eligible based on your driver license being after 1996
but turns out there's a bug and so licenses renewed after 1996 are considered newer than 1996
so now they can't tell whether all 100,000 voters are actual citizens (yes they are but good luck convincing the GOP)
