The words we are pretty sure you did not hear yesterday were low voter turnout. No, Americans went to the polls in astounding numbers Tuesday. People proudly displayed their voting stickers and posted it online. Voting, that gift from the founders, that audacious experiment in Representative Government, was trending.
Where stickers ran out, people created their own. They were not going to be seen in public without a sign with their participation. People used to say, if you don't vote, you don't have a right to complain. This year it felt more like I voted by golly and I'm having my say.
