I think who you mean by tech community here is important too. CEOs? Their pay depends in part on them not listening.
Enthusiasts? Engineers? People who use technology more than incidentally? Left-leaning tech circles? Some have heard him, the idea of enshittification has spread well.
Sometimes ideas don’t spread very much until they do in a big way. This feels to me like one where that point exists, and people will take notice when it’s hit.
I mean some states have odd year elections for local issues, etc. After the precious election, they should do their diligence to find anyone who should no longer be registered, like people who they believe have died, or shouldn’t have been eligible to register. Anyone purged should get a courtesy notice via email or mail just in case.
Recounts happen sometimes, etc, so anytime between mid November and early January seems perfectly reasonable to me.
