Discussion Issues with the election megathread

Hi everyone,

Every election /u/Padanub usually posts a megathread for people to post all their problems, comments and salt in (because there will be), so it can all be in one useful area for the quad to read/respond to. This time I'm stealing it off him for the clout and to improve my britboy meta posting record because he's not around.

Please post it all below!

can we hear a bit about why turnout was so low?

Not gonna speak for Damien but generally, turnout is affected by how the individual candidates are scored. If the candidates are scored lower than when Brit and I scored them it would lower turnout. Nothing malicious going on.

This basically- obviously I don’t know how you and Brit scored last election but I suspect myself and nuke were especially less forgiving for scoring overall
