Tennessee was won by former California Governor Ronald Reagan (R) by a very slim margin of 0.29%,[1] partly because of President Jimmy Carter's southern roots. As of the 2016 presidential election, this is the last election in which Tipton County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.[2]

gollark: You just *cannot* give people access to a thing in one way and expect them to not be able to access it in some other way. Basically every DRM scheme - which this really sounds like - has *failed, inevitably*.
gollark: As Grim Reaper said: if there is *any* important data there or something, *people will get it out* eventually.
gollark: Also, some platforms might not like bytecode.
