I voted after work and I was determined to get my vote in even though I was tired and hungry. AND pissed at the way the election workers were handling the sites. Even though the line outside to get in the school was super long, it moved faster than the line I had to stand for my district. I stayed online in the cold for maybe thirty minutes. The line inside the school to me an hour and half. AND then we had to wait for a privacy booth. HELL NO, I filled my ballot in the open and scanned in less than one minute. That whole “system” needs to change ASAP. 
I think the picture below shows how millions of Americans including myself felt after hearing that President Obama was elected for a second term. Although, I am not heavily into politics I am overjoyed to see a face in the white house that represents my community.

Nice coverage. I couldn’t vote but I feel your pain. The mood seemed somber the day after though, I think this election really dragged and people were ready to move on once it was all over?

Like you I was tired, hungry, and pissed on the night of the election. The lines to vote were ridiculous! But I’m glad we both made it through and casted our ballot! It was well worth the wait!
