Civic duty done

No black hoodies at my Franklin County polling place, but considering that I was roughly the second youngest person there, that's no surprise. (I wore my Chicon 2000 red on black ON MY PLANET, I AM NORMAL t-shirt; the youngest guy there was wearing a hooded Eagles jersey. Most of the other voters were about my parents' age. Editorializing to follow.

Today in the Trinity Universe: early results!

Not the real-world election result, but one a lot of people would prefer. (I'd certainly prefer this to a Bush victory. Then again, if Bob Schroer were the GOP candidate seeking re-election this year, I'd side with Hugh in wanting him back, from the sound of him.) And wouldn't it be a hoot if Michael Badnarik (the OTL Libertarian candidate) got in?

2004
[Aberrant] Lauren Pendleton is elected both the first female and first Libertarian president of the United States. The press credits her victory to voters disgruntled with two sex scandals by two consecutive presidents from both traditional political parties. The Libertarian Party and various independent candidates claim a sizable portion of legislative seats in the election.

And I suspect the TU's James maliszewski has put his credibility on the betting table in calling it for her, just as his OTL counterpart has done by calling it for Bush. We'll see, though I certainly have hopes.
