Atlas time at the top of my browser shows 12:29 a.m... I was just about to vote myself.

Lol, Griffin.

Anyway, it clearly says EDT. It is 0:00 EDT.

Well, I'm about to start with the faux-outrage if these votes are actually going to be voided...

What does the relevant law say? Atlas time or EDT? I can't even find it.

It's EDT.

We're good. See Section 4(3).

I noticed some people have deleted their ballot, we now only have six ballots.

Who deleted his ballot?

All the people Griffin just PMed.

I'm just joking, Adam. I don't think a situation like this would put anyone in invaligate territory. It's just kind of a major f-ck up all around. I sent out some GOTV stuff at midnight. I guess it was stupid of me, but the ballot box said EDT in one place and Atlas time in another, and since the Atlas time displayed for me was the EDT time, I didn't really think much about it.

And yeah, my PM block just unfroze too, so at least I wasn't the only one who made this mistake. Tongue

Yes, but he made an error in the ballot booth that these gave these voters legitimate reason to believe that their votes would be counted.

It doesn't set a precedent so much as it just rectifies his mistake with a ruling that errs on the side of democracy.
