U.S. Election Open Thread

The past few US elections have been contentious and the effects have been felt here at TFMR. Election news overtook the daily threads and drove the conversation away from the PMs and the mining shares. In order to promote a more harmonious environment...and in order to help many of us to stay on topic...I'm creating this thread for the expressed use as a platform for any and all election news and opinions.

So this is your thread. I will leave it "sticky" at the top of the TFMR homepage through Thursday. If you want to discuss the U.S. election, do it here. DO NOT USE the daily...
