So glad Election Day has come and gone. It was stressing me out. Feeling good about the huge voter turnout and that Dems got control of the house. Phew! Here are some other highlights:
-->
- The first Muslim women were elected to Congress.
- Millions of people in Florida had their right to vote restored.
- A Republican beloved by the NRA lost her congressional seat.
- The first openly lesbian woman was elected mayor in Florida.
- The first openly gay governor in U.S. history was elected in Colorado.
- Texas elected two Latina congresswomen for the first time.
- A Democrat won in Kansas, beating Kris Kobach.
- The first Native American women were elected to Congress.
- An anti-discrimination bill was saved by voters in Massachusetts.
- Anti-union and anti-education Scott Walker is no longer Governor of Wisconsin
- Seven governorships went to Democratic nominees.

I think things went well. I just want Abrams and Gillum to fight their election results to deter people who will want to employ the same tactics for 2020. I think they both know how important it is, and how to use the new Congress to get investigations initiated that will serve to keep a foot on the neck of bad political actors.
