gollark: Actually, better idea: *99%* of people (randomly picked) aren't allowed to vote, but can still go to the voting booth as usual and vote and whatnot, it's just not counted, and the people who are and aren't allowed don't know this.

gollark: So, effectively ban certain opinions?

gollark: We haven't posted it to Twitter yet.
