The evidence in this article is:

  1. Jason Lahoz couldn't sign up.
  2. @Ginnyproffitt was frustrated.

I tried signing up a couple of days ago. The site loaded quickly and worked fine. The only quirk I noticed was that I received two registration confirmation emails instead of one.

We should not be so quick to jump on the government without evidence that there is a problem, especially when you can just go look at the site yourself and see if it works.
