The final count is happening now. Despite having lived in the USA for several years, I never quite "got" the election process. Electoral college, popular votes.... to me, it doesn't quite make sense. I know the history of how this process came about, but for heaven's sake, we are living in the 21st century now. I am sure there is a fairer (and more democratic) way of voting.
And partisan politics is just messed up. You do something because it makes sense, not because it's the Democratic or Republican stance. Sometimes when I watch some of the campaign speeches and ads, I just want to put on my maternal hat & say, "Now, children, play nice and work together....you'll probably end up achieving better results that way."
