OT- the election

It's after 1:30 AM here in North Dakota, and the election's running
neck-and-neck; but whoever wins this, it is my opinion that all of
America has won this day in a very important way indeed...there was a
very big voter turnout, and some voters waited hours to cast their
votes...you can't hear that without remembering Benjamin Franklin's
words at the end of the Constitutional Convention, when he stated that
he had been studying the carving on the backrest of the chair that faced
him, which showed a sun on the horizon.
He said that after a careful consideration, it represented a rising, not
a setting, sun.
God bless America, and God bless the democratic process of government.
