With candidates throwing an assortment of zingers at each other for months, voters have been besieged with all types of information. There has been no escaping all the fodder. Email- and mail-boxes have been flooded with correspondence. The news media from local to 24-hour cable programs have been non-stop in sharing the latest tidbit. Social media has been a whirlpool of all types of “stuff.”
While experts claim that this election is of an historic nature, the vast majority of people are just looking forward to it being over.
But it isn’t yet.

But even so, the sun will still rise in the east, bills will still will still need to be paid and kids will still have to head to class.
