Why would it be flagged?

• throwaway0a5e 6y ago
  Because it's vaguely political and has little tech component. It's not like it's about electronic voting machines or something. Not that that stuff never shows up, but usually it's on and off the front page pretty quick unless there's a tech component.

    Because it goes against the narrative that widespread voter fraud does not exist prevalent in Hacker News...Anything that goes against the narrative is deemed "political", while any political headlines that go with the narrative are not flagged. Typical double standard that is common in corporate media & big tech... In other words... War is Peace Freedom is Slavery Ignorance is Strength

    We're wayyyy past the point of vaguely political content being allowed.
