Only comment on the election:

[partly]

People!

Over 115 million people voted in this election. That doesn't include all the absentee or provisional ballots that were cast.

We haven't counted them all, yet. This is not a sign that the system is flawed.

It means that there are over 115 million ballots to count.

I repeat 115 million

Do you have any idea how much a 115 million is?

And, really, the whole Ohio thing? It's just about counting the votes. It's not about errors or problems... it's just about counting.

115 million.

That's a big number. We should be pleased that it's that big. How depressing would it be if it would be a small number of votes that were easily counted?

Better that we have a lot and wait.

ETA: Ok. I guess we're no longer waiting to count them all. But still: 115 million.

Pleased is not the word. The turnout is ROCKING MY WORLD.

The turnout rocks my world as well.

What doesn't rock my world is the fact that a significant percentage of those apparently aren't worth counting.

I don't know where I live anymore when every single vote isn't worth counting before a conclusion is reached.
