The day when the entire arXiv is re-typeset in Comic Sans cannot come soon enough. Rebels like Peyton-Jones are truly fighting the good fight.

At most one side can elect a new leader, since there are an odd number of nodes.
Not sure I understand. A node in each split cluster would need at least 4 votes to be elected leader. Hence no node can be elected leader since all split clusters have strictly fewer than 4 nodes. Theorem. With 2n + 1…

That is correct. The solution to this is given in section 5.4.1 (election restriction), section 5.4.2 (Committing entries from previous terms) and section 8 (Client interaction) of the Raft paper. Roughly, a newly…
