Yet another interesting article flagged because it touches on American politics.

What's the procedure for flagged articles become unflagged? Maybe do I need more karma or something before I can vouch for them?

Normally most users can vouch for flagged submissions. The fact that this is non-vouchable is interesting.

Could it be that people who have commented in a flagged post are forbidden from vouching?
That's my suspicion. Likely with an IP association as well for people with alt-accounts.
The link you posted says users can only vouch for dead submissions, though?
