An Election Day night guide

Happy Election Day, Moder Friends. I'm not going to tell you to go vote, because either you already have or you're not going to, and nothing I say or do is going to convince the latter any differently.

For the first time in five years, my job doesn't have me working on Election Day night. I used to have a job that was very integral to the Election Day night process, but no longer. That means for the first time in five years I actually get to be at home and soak up that which is the election returns process. Though I'm not a huge, huge fan of the process of campaigns, I do enjoy the excitement of election returns and waiting to see who it's going to be.

And my favorite activity of Election Day night: coloring in states on a U.S. map as they're called for a candidate. Yes, I have a box of crayons ready to go.

P.S. Don't forget your free Starbucks, Ben and Jerry's and Krispy Kremes today.
