[OT] American Heretics Elections

[Alistair McGlinchy]

Its not just the London Perl M[ou]ngers who have confusing rules about when
to have gatherings.

Federal elections occur "...on the Tuesday following the first Monday of
November..." The obvious explaination for this rule being that "in some
years the period between the first Tuesday in November and the first
Wednesday in December (when the Electoral College met) would be more than 34
days"

Would it be worth proposing a post hoc reason that l.pm could not handle 34
days without beer?

Cheers

Alistair
