Twas the day after Election Day and there were many surprises to be had. Congrats to all the candidates for getting into this election and running. Some we may favor more than others. Yet, we should all be proud that those of us who could, voted and many of us continue to do what we can to make our communities better. And with that, your special post-Election Day version of the news, with just election commentary:

This person is currently banned from voting, but possibly voted anyway.
This person voted for the first time, after coming to this country as a refugee.
