[Fictionary] inchpinning towards the deadline

[E Cohen]

Your inchpin voting deadline is tonight. Turnout isn't bad, but we 
currently have fewer voters than candidates, which is perilously like 
the Democratic presidential race.

Let's do better than they.

Usual 2- and 1-point votes, voting ends tonight, 18 January 2020.
