Well, it’s over. I can’t say that I’m terribly suprised by the outcome, but
again I am amazed with the piss-poor implementation of democracy in America. The
system is bloated, disorganized, and increasingly geared toward uncertainty,
infammatory remarks and up-to-the-minute media coverage.

It’s disgusting.

We say that “every vote counts” but in reality, it’s just not so. Thousands of
votes from citizens of all states have not and will never be counted because
“they don’t appear to affect final counts.” Counting processes are ridden with
opportunity for human and machine error (some say the MoE’s as high as 3% – that
could have swung a couple states last night…)

I think we need to get over this “must know now” attitude FAST and develop a
more accurate system. It may take a week to know who won. Sure. But I would
rather be more confident in the end. Definately not feeling it right now.

Only 10% of voters between 18 and 24 voted yesterday.
The same percentage
as last year.
