The aggressive way the CNN moderators pit the Dems against each other was a disservice to the country. We need to hear how they’ll beat Trump, not each other. When the house is on fire, I don’t want to watch firefighters arguing over who’s best. I want them to put out the fire.

We finally have a statement from @Scytl on the suspension of the @swisspost evoting system because of multiple critical vulnerabilities (mostly: "This vulnerability could allow a voter to cast an invalid vote which would not be detected by the voter")
