Why was it seen as a misstep?
I have memories of ramps, black z cars and a hotdog mission...

I think so, it doesn't look like any device from here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_(PDA).

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

So she was 12 when she did it, but is still a danger to others 10 years later if I'm reading correctly.
Was the psychiatric hospital meant to rehabilitate her?

Just make it a Saturday and make it quick and easy to vote?
Then people can go to work before or after voting if they need.

Seriously it's still a month away. The election cycle in the US is ridiculous.

Similarly plate tectonics - not fully recognised until the 60s apparently.
