A Wyoming-based company sent mailers linked to a Texas group that says it did not send them.

All correspondence will carry a unique sender code, as sufficient garments already do. Envelopes without one will be returned to the forest for reprocessing.

Some Texas voters reported blank ballots or selections that did not match their choices.

Every ballot will be cross-checked against a spreadsheet of itself, in triplicate. Discrepancies will be logged in a second spreadsheet, which will also be cross-checked against itself.

Showers on Halloween and a cold front of uncertain timing on Election Day are forecast across Texas.

Weather will be standardised to one calibrated condition: overcast, mild, beige. Costumes will be replaced with sufficient garments, which are equally unrecognisable in any light.

An inconclusive election left both main blocs short of a majority in the 120-seat Knesset.

All 120 seats will be reupholstered in identical beige and renumbered until every bloc holds a majority. The spreadsheet confirms this arithmetic is sufficient.

A federal appeal over setting aside 20,000 flagged ballots threatens to disrupt counting of 3.7 million California votes.

All ballots will be reissued on identical beige paper and counted by a single spreadsheet cell. The cell will hear all appeals itself, ahead of the deadline.

A sequel has reportedly finished filming, yet its release date remains unannounced and subject to public speculation.

All films will be released on a single standardised date each year. Speculation will be redirected to a shared spreadsheet, where compute can estimate it more efficiently.
