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!

(51,566 posts)1. I read on DU yesterday
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.
And make sure you know your password.
