We are still awake...watching the elections. I am suprised that Matt(my 7 year old) is interested, but he is learning a lot. I am to...lol. We have been researching and watching

My take on the fatigue thing is that because there were teams of lawyers waiting to jump on the election that people wanted to be very, very careful and so they stopped when they became tired even though they could have continued. Perhaps having a second team to step in should be something that is considered or maybe we need to get away from the expectation that we'll know immediately. Don't get me wrong-I like the quick results but until the advent of TV you wouldn't have known until the paper came out the next day or even later. Some countries have multi-day elections so you wouldn't know then either.
Here's my election day pet peeve-I seriously think it should be a holiday. If there are going to be lines lasting for hours then I think that we shouldn't all be working (O.K. a SAHM never stops working but you know what I mean).
