Like many people on the 6th of November, after casting my ballot I returned home to relax, have dinner and watch the results of the election play out. Finding an election tracking site of some reliability, I left my computer ticking away while I did other things, glancing over every now and then to see which of the fifty graphical representations of states had changed to either red or blue. Every once in a while, however, I had to walk back over to my computer and close some annoying pop-up advertisement that had appeared to block out my view of the election map.
