I spent yesterday ensuring that everyone who came to my assigned precinct who wanted to vote could vote (provisionally, if nothing else). There were no disruptions outside of one crank (my state is not New Jersey, Tennessee, Ohio, or Florida … thankfully enough) and everyone there was quite knowledgable after working elections together for 20 years.

It was safe, boring, and peaceful. Just the way democracy should be.

For an off-year election, turnout was super high. Since there were no wedge issues on our ballot, I took that as a sign people were pissed as hell… which I found out late last night was pretty much true, even if that fucktard Lieberman’s still around in a position of even more possible damage to the republic than ever before.

But let’s not focus on that for the moment. Let’s focus on the zero-loss unprecedented Dem victory in 3 branches of government (house, senate, gubernatorial)!
