Now that the election is over, I thought I’d share a few thoughts.
One: Stephanie and I went by our polling place at 6:30 PM on election night, just to see what the line was like. There was literally no line. We could see inside and there were some booths that weren’t even occupied. No more waiting in line in the cold for ninety minutes to vote early for me.
Two: As a general rule, I don’t like to hear other people’s opinions of politics. Especially the opinions of people with extremely strong opinions. That said, I’ve been surprised and impressed with the mature, sensible way most (but not all) of the extremely conservative people I know have reacted to the results of the election. Just one example: “My man didn’t win, but I will now support this man as my President.”
