    Controversies

    Illegal online votes

    Voting officially started on October 21, however the official website experienced issues for the following two days. On November 2, MAMA "nullified" illegal votes they detected between October 26 and November 1 and halted voting from 4:00 am to 8:00 am. In addition, they announced that they "will take stronger measures against illegal voting if it continues, including nullifying the votes confirmed to be illegitimate, blocking the relevant IP addresses, and permanently deleting the relevant accounts."[9]

    gollark: Which is easy for computers to deal with.
    gollark: Well, apparently the USSR dealt with a few tens of millions of kinds of good.
    gollark: Central planning isn't even possible from a *computational* perspective.
    gollark: But full central planning is inherently flawed in excitingly different ways.
    gollark: I agree.
