So scary, Brenda! Yikes.
The polling place I work at now is just too small -- I think there are 250 people total in the district? So between early and mail voting, we end up with a pretty quiet day.

Thrive to spite them
There were 2 issues to actually be voted on and about half the races only had a Republican running for office.
There was only one candidate for these races: SC US House District 4, SC Attorney General, State Comptroller, US House district 17, Greenville County Auditor, GVL County Solicitor Circuit 13, GVL County Treasurer.
There were 3 candidates for: Governor (Dem, GOP, Libertarian), Superintendent of Education (Dem, GOP, Green Party), Commissioner of Ag (Green Party, United Citizens Party, GOP)
and the State Treasurer contest was between GOP and Alliance Party

I look more rad than Lutheranism
It does not look good for a lot of the statewide candidates I voted for. Fucking JD Vance is pulling ahead. Barf. But a lot of the county candidates I voted for have comfortable leads, and county races are definitely important. Still, almost all the Ohio races are a red wave. Fucking fuck.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I was hoping the county exec for the county I work for would be called before I go to bed, but looks like not. But 59% for the incumbent thus far, so maybe tomorrow will be a chill day and ppl can start to relax.

So it looks like it's shaping up to be: Coulda been worse.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm trying not to look beyond Illinois tonight. I'll face the rest tomorrow.

Checking the results is making me tense but not checking was also making me tense.

Yeah, I'm not looking at the results.
I went out for a fancy cocktail with my niece, and then we had great fried chicken in Uptown. Now I'm watching John Oliver.
Next up I will probably watch some Star Wars or something. Anything to keep myself offline...
