So I'm a few days late, but I'm struggling with the riddle. I can't get it to work out in my head.

The new presidential election is going to be held in June.
November 5th, actually. The last of the presidential primaries are in June.

For a vote in Australia to be valid, it has to number every box in order. If you just write a '1' in the box of your favourite candidate, your vote will not count.
Whoa really? Where I live there have been occasional rumblings about switching to preference voting, and I've mostly been agnostic about it. But this part seems like a negative, to me. If it's clear who someone meant to vote for, the vote should count.
I'm curious what the reasoning is here? Is this specific to Australia? Something to do with mandatory voting?

From the footnotes:
...and the British did what they always did: Invent a tax that didn't bring in significant revenue while antagonizing the natives...
Facing armoured columns carrying tax-free Belgian coffee through the Ardennes, the British decided that fighting through the Ardennes three times in as many decades was enough and they'd rather not enforce the tax, thank you very much.
Any idea where I can read more about this tax (and the British Occupation Zone more generally)?
I would say interviews are like debates: Normally they don't really matter. But if one candidate appears to be unable to handle interviews (not even good interviews, just unable/unwilling to do them) or unable to handle a debate (winning is nice but not necessary, just participating) then that raises massive red flags.
It seems like a basic duty of the job. An applicant for a job who can send and receive emails isn't noteworthy. An applicant who can't though, isn't likely to be hired.
