Right on schedule, its off the front page...

  Interesting, this is blowing up and should be on the frontpage but something tells me HN has it's own algorithm or super-mods that are demoting anything that they'd prefer not be discussed. Ironic. Also sucks because I used to love the tech crowds die hard love of free speech. Total absolutists. Aaron Swartz. Wikileaks. Snowden. You name it.

      I don't think it's quite malicious but if I'm a mod and it's common to suppress anything election related then I could see that applying here. But according to the comment you linked their algorithm only targets upvote/downvote wars, I did not observe that happening here at all.
