In theory, the mods can whitelist those articles manually after seeing them repeatedly flagged and vouched for. However, we know that the mods have already seen this article since the link was changed from the archive to the paywall URL. In

Which part of the electoral college do you have a problem with? I'm a fan of the fact that it gives smaller states a voice, but don't like the fact that it's winner-take-all in every state except Maine. Also faithless elector
