after careful reflection on my fear of what did happen four years ago.

The nightmare was made so much worse in the immediate aftermath because DU was taken down. I recall there was a donation drive for election night. Is that happening again? And are there ample protections in place to keep DU up and running? Anybody know?

Thanks. And Happy Halloween!

that there are restrictions in place. I wasn't here until 2017 but I know what happened and it seems that star members will be allowed to post but others may not, at least within a certain time frame around the election. I wish I could find the OP.

And I've seen no new mail about that.

Fingers crossed for a smooth landing.

Might want to renew early just in case.
