Election Day

I have to admit, I didn't do the majority of my research until this morning.  Joe and I watched some of the debates (but I was easily irritated and didn't end up watching it all).  Reading about the candidates and the proposals was much easier than hearing about it.  With that said, I made sure that I felt confident in who I voted for tonight.  So not much crafting was done today....however, tomorrow I can get back to my crafting all the while knowing that I did my part in helping to decide the outcome of our future.

Tonight I have been spending my time watching the live updates on the huffingtonpost.com  I have also been watching NBCnews Decision 2012 on TV as well.  I have to admit that I am slightly confused though.  They are showing in Blue the states the Obama has won, and they are showing in Red the states that Romney has won.  What I don't understand is how they can claim the state has been won when only a percentage of the votes are in?  For example, right now it says "17% is reporting" in Minnesota.  However, it also says "Obama won".  There is still 83% that still has to report their votes... Truly I have no idea how the state has been "won" if all the votes aren't in yet.

Either way, I did my part...did you do yours?
