  If something political was in the title it would be flagged off of HN pretty quickly. This is a justice.gov article which are frequently posted to HN and election security is a common topic here, so it's pretty safe.

    Yes, things have been feeling more partisan around here lately and I fell into that trap. I went back and realized it was from justice.gov and that changed things.

      Where is 'around here, lately'? Where you live? This website? 'Partisan'? Some several people's opinions that don't align with yours? '[T]hings have been feeling[...] What things?

        Can I not just comment on an internet forum without having to act like I'm defending a dissertation? Do I have to assume I'm talking to the ghost of Socrates? >"Where is 'around here, lately'? Where you live? This website?" Yes. This site. Make a reasonable inference. >"'Partisan'? Some several people's opinions that don't align with yours?" This assumes I only sense partisanship when people disagree with me, but there are plenty discussions here on HN bringing up conservatives, progressives, national politics, the recall of the San Francisco DA, etc.. There's a good amount of back-and-forth between those who disagree and I'm not attributing a partisan atmosphere to my opinions being challenged. And before you ask, no, I will not provide you with a list of HN threads with partisan discussions going on in them. >"'[T]hings have been feeling[...] What things?" Are you unfamiliar with this expression/phrasing? In this case it is not meant to convey specific examples, it refers to sentiment and atmosphere - a state of mind.
