I am curious about the the no party affiliation votes. I realize I was incorrectly assuming this turnout was for the third and independent parties but just dawned on me I was missing the point.
I hope no matter the outcome of this election we will be respectable toward each other, more knowlegeble about our government, more engaged citizens and appreciate what we do have. Hopefully we are a little wiser and will ask ourselves what can we do to make this a better world. We are different, different things motivate us, we have different opinions, but at the end of the day we are Americans and neighbors, coworkers, and we are in this together.
