Just curious: any stats on the number of malicious intruders MIRT had to repel on election night?

I saw a couple I could tell were headed to the graveyard, and there seem to be a few more lurking in the shadows, occasionally peeking out, but all in all, pretty smooth and peaceful, especially considering…

Thanks to the MIRT team!

Many of the new users were (seemingly) legit, and a lot of the troll accounts looked like the same stuff we see all the time.

Either MIRT was intercepting them before they really hit the main stage or there just weren't that many, relatively speaking.
