Election Day!
I assume I don't need to urge you all to get out there and cast your ballots. If you need encouragement, though, remember what Susan B. Anthony said: Suffrage is the pivotal right.
And in the early-returns department, Ralph Luker at the History News Network already has some to share:
In early reports, Barack Obama has won Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, by 15 to 6; and Hart's Location, New Hampshire, by 17 to 10. It is only the second time a Democrat has won in Dixville Notch since 1948 when it began voting at midnight and immediately reporting the results; and the first time a Democrat has won in Hart's Location since it re-instated the practice in 1996.
