The question is for U. S. citizens, so ignore it if you aren't one.
Today is the quadrennial exercise Americans go through to elect the person who will hold the highest office in the land until the next time.
I remember when we did it in one day. I also remember when everyone spoke English, a Coke was ten cents, gasoline was twenty cents a gallon and a McDonald's hamburger was made from beef and cost fifteen cents. So, I'm old.
Enough of the wool-gathering. Elections have become a form of trench warfare. Campaigns last for months, as does the election process. The worst of it is that the candidates have learned and availed themselves of electronic communication. My phone, both text and audio, my TV and my email have suffered a non-stop barrage of ads and candidates I've never heard of asking for money. Today it (hopefully) stops.
On the radio, I kept hearing that if one voted early (unthinkable, prior to COVID) the bombardment of these irritants would go away. I voted early just for that purpose. It didn't work. I kept receiving these electronic offal up until 8:00pm last night. I've had it! A pox on everyone's house!
So, did you vote? Are you as sick of this as I am?
