It's incredibly disappointing.
What I keep coming up with is that too many people stayed home on Election Day, or too many people were kept from voting on Election Day.
Long lines in known democratic districts, and that whole 'cross check' thing.

It's the 'stupid people' that are making it difficult. The Sean Spicers, Reince Priebus, and all of my family and friends that thought it'd be a good idea to vote for a reality TV star.
It is hell.
