I am in Springfield, Missouri, in the heart of the beet-red Ozarks hills. The scene at the polling site was sedate as I went in to cast my vote for America's first female president, Hillary Clinton, and Democrats for all the other races with Democrats. No brownshirts to be seen. I expected to see more people than I did, though the numbers were growing as I stood in line. I voted at 6:20, and was #32 at my precinct. 24 hours from now, I expect to be hearing all about president-elect Hillary Clinton, and that Der Orangenfuehrer has crawled back under his rock to sulk and lick his wounds.

Get out there and vote today, folks!!

Considering the local demographics. Only unusual thing I saw was a guy wearing all red white and blue, from hat to shoes. It was like he just grabbed whatever clothing he had that contained those colors; he was wearing what looked like bright blue golf pants.
