To keep this on topic, no mention of any candidate or political party.
Networks can impact elections, and elections can impact network operators.
If @netblocks <www.netblocks.org> publishes a special report about your
country's elections, that's a huge indicator of network (and election)
problems. In the 1950's, often the first indication something was
happening was the national radio station in a country suddenly started
playing uninterrupted classical music. Now the modern equivalent is when
mobile networks stop working and social media sites are blocked in a
country.
There are many day-to-day causes of network problems.
I don't expect backhoes to stop cutting fiber cables on election day.
I don't expect network engineers to stop making mistakes on election day.
I don't expect software bugs to stop occurring on election day.
In the USA, absent clear and convincing evidence otherwise, I expect any
outages will be due to the normal things that cause outages on election day.
If you do experience an outage, you probably want to have your P.R. people
on call for a quicker than normal response.
