  • Not saying this applies to Sydney Sweeney, but:

    In some places, you really can’t assume that registered republican means votes republican. What I mean by that is there are deep red counties in Florida and other red states where most local offices run unopposed, and the only way to have any say in who holds those offices is to vote in the closed republican primary. The only way to do that is register as republican.

    Some people do that to mitigate damage, and then vote straight ticket against the republicans in the general election. This can be a useful tactic even in places where the democratic party is active enough to field candidates, but not enough to have two running in a primary.

    In this case there are other signs and I don’t think we’re dealing with tactical registration, but it’s good to be aware of when judging people by their voter registration without knowing a lot about the local politics.





  • Probably not. It looks like it’s setting the fake address before reading the tunnel parameters, where the real address is stored. Probably a kludge in case the connection address is undefined so the program doesn’t crash. So check whether the address is included there.

    Also check the function that establishes the connection. 10.1.1.1 is not a public subnet, so unless there is a VPN device listening at the local address, the tunnel should fail to establish and throw an error, triggering the exception clause in that code. Again, you’ll want to confirm that in the code.
