The big number for American’s is 270…that is how many electoral votes from the electoral college it takes to become President Of The United States. There is also the popular vote number which is important too. There are other numbers like how many Senators and Representatives from both parties will be in congress in January. Today lots of numbers are being thrown around. It will be interesting to see what those numbers will mean to people in a tangible way. Let’s see what numbers will mean for us as we discover how they are going revealed to us.

Something About November 8, 2016 – Decision Day #vote2016 #election2016

Tuesday, November 8th is the day that American’s have been waiting for it seems forever. We will know (hopefully) who will be the next President of The United States. It has been a very long process of primary votes, debates, campaigning and more debating. Secretary Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump have made this election cycle a very memorable one. It has been one for the history books. State and local races will be decided tomorrow too so that will impact people more directly.

Almost 44 million votes have been cast in early voting but tomorrow the rest of America will have their say. It’s going to be a very interesting Tuesday evening watching the results coming from across the country. It will be a late night for many but I am hoping the race will be hopefully called by 11 PM.

I will be blogging about decision day throughout tomorrow. Check back to see what I am thinking. Tomorrow is a big day.
