Sorry, we accidentally released a beta democracy into production.

Planned changes include:

  • bugfix: remove unneeded electoral college (slows progress down)
  • bugfix: replace current hard-set limit on House with dynamic value that grows with population
  • feat: add protection for voting rights to system firmware/constitution (current piecemeal legislative approach is difficult to optimize)
  • bugfix: set polling location availability by population density, not population wealth
  • feat: implement ranked-choice election system (deprecates first-past-the-post)
  • feat: implement consequences for criminal actions taken by people who are white and conservative

Unfortunately, these changes are not yet available, but these and more will become possible to implement if we fucking vote like our country depends on it at every level.

I appreciate the well formatted commit message. A shame that some of the maintainers aren't interested in accepting fixes.

The original spec must be interpreted literally by the letter.

"The founding maintainers were perfect in every way and their vision doesn't need adjustment!"

"Their vision included the need for adjustment? Nah, that's just propaganda from trolls."

And the interpreters can be bought if you're wealthy enough.

There also seems to be open security vulnerabilities, which could potentially make it possible for a malicious actor to take control of the entire system. Consider implementing some safeguards against that.
