Laura, it is amazing sometimes what you go through when you go to vote. I have a very unusual last name. In fact anyone with it in the US is related to me. When my mother died it took me several elections telling them when I went to vote that she had pasted away before they finally took her off the rolls. Same with my father. No wonder they don't know what percentage of registered voters really voted.

I feel sorry for those that had so many things to vote on. Where I live they always hold local elections (city council/mayor) seperately. We did that in October.

Anyway I'm just glad the elections are over. Hopefully they will decide who won and we can stop listening to all the name calling soon.
