Election Day

What a long day! We got to the voting pole this morning about 6:30 am. I was surprised that there were so many people already there. Turns out that I had to re-register...I totally forgot that the last time I voted I did not have my married name yet.

We decided to order a pizza tonight and watch the election results. I picked up a pizza at Papa Murphy's. Apparently a lot of people had the same idea. The boy behind the counter said that they had 140 pizza orders this evening when they usually only have 70 pizzas ordered on a normal Tuesday night. They even ran out of cheese!

I've been watching all of the results come in all night and I always find the results so confusing. How do they call a winner in a state when less than a quarter of the votes are in. Strange. Anyways, it is exciting to have a new President!

It is all about statistical models, demographics, and exit polls. A mathamatic cocktail that is a mystery.
