In preparations for the election tomorrow, I got a copy of a sample ballot and began filling in the bubbles for my candidates of choice. Or at least the candidates that I think won’t suck too bad. And as I did more research and kept filling in the bubbles, it suddenly felt like I was making college basketball picks for March Madness. Who will be going to the next round by being elected? Who will be curled up in a ball, crying on the floor in anguish after losing?
Then there’s the championship game, the presidential election, the one that matters most and will have the largest impact on the U.S. for the next four years. Unfortunately, there’s a distinct possibility that there won’t be a final score at the end of the night, no one will be celebrating and the winner could be determined inside of the wrong kind of court.
