Unless you're actively helping people get to the polls (driving them or whatever), at this point there's nothing you can do. So instead of chewing through your nails and half up your fingers, or downing half a bottle of antacid, go watch a movie, play a game, read a book.

Hell, get smashed, even. Or just go to bed early.

It's past the point where you can affect things, so don't chew yourself up. Before the election: chop wood, carry water.
After the election: chop wood, carry water.
