                               Election results

A rare Presidential race with no incumbents [1], the American People instead
threw the incumbent party out of the office (a sentiment I often espouse
myself), but alas, the American People did not toss the incumbent party out
of Congress, which had a lower rating than the President. Go figure.

Anyway, it looks like the Algorithm for Determining the Winners of U.S.
(United States) Presidential Elections [2] held with no modifications
required [3] (well, maybe a rule to penalize candidates in non-mainstream
political parties, otherwise Cynthia McKinney should have won).

And in other election news, Sean Tevis [4] (remember him [5]?) lost his bid
to become a Kansas State Represenative [6] by 425 votes [7]. Here's to next
time, Sean.
