That would be the most obvious resolution in the case that another election was required, though might be exploited as a means to get around term limits.

Another option might be the delegation of responsibility to the voting population to force a timely resolution of the election, greater understanding of the issues at hand, etc.

Has anyone seen analysis of elections nullified by vote?

For example, voters would be allowed to put the status of any and all candidates as null and/or a top vote as null. If the majority of votes cast as were null, another election would be run with all candidates from the prior election removed.

Are there any examples of the FBI creating or enabling predators so they are able to hunt them?

If so, is this illegal, and if not, why?

While speculation, Moxie's projects appear to have gotten (deservedly) a lot of attention, which brings a lot of feedback that's unfounded and potential malicious; for example, the f-droid comment about in my opinion fails to reflect both sides of the issue, and build security is VERY IMPORTANT and often ignored.

I don't know Moxie, but we've exchange messages before and never got the sense that off the cuff he was discounting any feedback. At a very highly level we agree about what he's doing, though I get the sense that anonymity is something we don't exactly agree about, but do understand a little of why he feels the way he does.

Always fun watch someone go cold turkey, since it becomes obvious to them their an infozombie really quick; reaching for a phone in their pocket that's not there every few minutes, going through withdrawals from not being able to read feeds/email, etc.

Just wait until machine learning gets really good at providing information that's of value that you "must have" to get through the day.

Aware of that issue (asked moxie about it on HN) and other issues too, but it doesn't change that there's zero reason to believe Moxie's intent is malicious and it's a stretch by any means to claim his contributions are anything but positive in sum.
