Ryan, I can think of three, and I don't mean people who I disagree
with for some reason, but who are in my view fundamentally unsuited,
two of whom went on to misbehave. It wouldn't be right to name them,
but it's worrying, and I feel I've noticed more of it lately. Voters
seem to think they need a reason to oppose someone, but not a reason
to elect them: the "no big deal" attitude.

I agree with everyone who's spoken out against IP addresses being
accessed on the basis of elections.
