I voted! w00t!

The Perfect Blue Storm swept through Rhode Island, and Democrats took everything except for governor (which isn't so bad; he was a decent governor and we needed that after many a corruption scandal). I myself voted the Democrat ticket (for the record, I'm independent). We now have our first female Lt. Governor (and here is where I give a shout-out to our neighbors up north, Massachusetts, for electing their first African-American governor). Also, our constitutional amendment to let the Narragansett tribe build a casino (as far as I know, we're the only state that requires a constitutional amendment to let a Native American tribe build a casino even on their own land) was rejected (it was a very terrible deal, and the Narragansetts would've gotten only 5% of the profits anyway). Other than that, the ballot was prettymuch bonds for different projects (we might actually get better highway roads now ).

I have to say: I hate politcs, but I love election season.
