Listen boss, it's election day in the United States. You know, I know. Everyone knows this, and on the off chance that someone was unaware of the fact, the past few weeks have offered a steady barrage of reminders to vote. Today. Tuesday. November 3, 2020.
It seems that the last to find out, however, was Siri . If you happened to say hello to Apple's smart assistant with a "Happy Election Day" today, he may have replied that the big day is not until November 8, as pointed out by well-known Twitter enthusiast Lucas Matney.
Apple has since fixed the problem, although the problem seems to be that Siri jumped the gun here. Indeed, November 8 is election day. Just not this year. November 8, 2022 marks another major election here in the US, namely the midterms, which will no doubt be all kinds of fun and nerve-wracking in their own beautiful way. An inexhaustible source of anxiety, this beautiful thing that the ancient Greeks called "democracy".
Siri in particular wasn't the only one confusing their dates. An issue with the Instagram cache earlier today caused the social media service to suggest to users that "Tomorrow is election day". Which it isn't. While it seems likely that the presidential race will still be in the air tomorrow, showing up at your polling station to vote will likely be frowned upon.
