Warning – This blog is not for class – Sorry Dr. Ransom
As I voted this morning I could not help but feel that I was taking part in a pivotal moment in the history of this country. Given the current struggles that our country is encountering the new President will be taking on many difficult issues. Maybe that is why it seemed as though this election has more meaning than either the 2004 or 2000 elections did. That is why it is important to remember that whether you are red or blue, change is coming.
As the numbers begin to become clear, it is great to see how many people got out to the polls and made their voice heard. I had the wonderful experience of seeing some of my students take a bus ride to their polling places and vote for the very first time. The enthusiasm these student showed for voting coupled with the memories of my first time voting added to my excitement for this momentous day.

So to all those voters out there, thank you for doing your job and making your voice heard. And as you can see the title is a bit of a play on words.
