The Long Count

Coming into Thursday night and Friday morning, we still don’t know who won in a large number of races, mostly in Arizona, Nevada, and the West Coast. The situation is in flux at the moment. People on the ground say that the polls in Arizona utterly failed. Twenty Five percent failure rate in some of the most predominant Republican voting districts. And we are still waiting for the counts from nearly a million voters from those districts. Florida finished its count within an hour or two of polls closing. Arizona and Nevada think they MIGHT be done early next week. And there is the little historical trend that Long Counts in Democrat controlled voting systems almost always result in Democrat wins. This looks bad. This is not good for our Republic.

Re-entrenching

We saw a red wave this week. Looking at the numbers, most red candidates received a boost of between 5 and 10 percent votes. We saw MASSIVE wins in Red States, going up and down the tickets. And there were some amazing flips in other States, like how most of New York State when red. But massive Blue State majorities absorbed the larger percentage of red votes for narrow wins in most cases. And the Purple States chose a side, flipping either hard red or hard blue up and down the tickets. Florida and Ohio are hard red now. Pennsylvania and others went hard blue. People have moved in the last couple years, re-entrenching in cultural areas they support, and now are glaring at each other over Red State and Blue State borders. This is not good for our Republic.

Election Night

Twenty years ago, it was normal to go to bed in Middle America knowing who had won the election. Florida was a massive aberration of that standard that told us the system was in trouble. Twenty years of shifting our voting and counting systems from the old paper ballots that had to be counted by hand and reported by land-line telephones to modern electronic systems that can instantly transmit the results across the web, and this year most people went to bed having no idea who won in a half dozen or maybe a dozen different States. We are worse off in most States today than we were when I was young. That is not good for our Republic.

Democrats Win Graveyard Vote!

In an amazing turn of events, poll watchers have reported a massive turnout in favor of the Democrats from an unlikely source. In a miracle of truly Biblical proportions, the graveyards rose up as one and brought a monumental number of votes for the Democrats around the country. It is a true blessing to see our eternally undead citizens show such determination to protect our Democracy from the temporary wishes of our selfish, living citizens. It is an unfortunate fact that there as some among the living who say the undead should not be able to vote. They are deathophobics and must be shunned from society until they repent. Remember that life is temporary, death is forever, and we must show our solidarity with the undead by respecting their right to vote.

Remember To Board Up Your Windows

Remember to board up your windows. Election day is nearly here, and if the party of peace, love, and tolerance loses, hatred and destruction may rule the land. This is a natural by product of the loss of peace, love, and tolerance of course, and is in no way attributable to the party that promotes and supports those virtues. Any suggestion that it does just proves how hateful and destructive you are. But because such hatred and destruction does exist, it is prudent to board up your windows, and possibly even paint some well-known slogans on them, telling everybody how peaceful, loving, and tolerant you are. You also may want to purchase some garden seeds. They end up being unavailable to purchase at the darndest times.
