開票沒多久，他就出現在競選總部了，有點出乎意料。
他看了一下電腦螢幕的開票統計，問計票人員是哪個投票所開出的，面無表情，氣氛不大對勁。後來，他看到他姐姐的孫子，隨手抱起這個六個多月大的小娃娃，逗著他玩，大家把目光移到他們倆的身上，氣氛緩和許多了....。
不過，隨著各個開票所的票數陸續開出，競選總部陷入一片死寂，無聲的，連一根針掉在地上都聽的見。
約莫兩個鐘頭後，他再度回到競選總部，宣布敗選。媒體問他，是否永遠退出政壇，他沒有直接回答，僅說，選輸就選輸了，他以後要做個士紳，還是要服務人群，他還說，以後要多和孫子玩....。
他講要和孫子玩，這句話我一點都不陌生，每一個突然下台的政治人物，或多或少都會講出類似的話：以後要多陪陪家人啦，要陪老婆去環遊世界啦，以後要含飴弄孫了....。我突然懷疑這是他的衷心之話嗎？我想起那些無法忘情於舞台的政治人物，我們等著看吧。
投票前一天，他站在宣傳車上對著他的鄉親說，這是他人生最後的一戰。他是南投縣長林宗男。(南投草屯，2005年12月)
Taken at President Obama’s Ypsilanti, MI campaign office watch party tonight. It was a great event, with high emotions, friends, food & celebration.
What a phenomenal day, night & memory!
I snapped this picture while driving from Austin to College Station, near the small town of Dime Box, Texas! Women should determine what they do with their bodies and the fetuses dependent on their bodies, not the government or the Republican Party! Why can't the GOP value women's rights as much as they value guns rights? Happy 1st day of early-voting Texas!
National Elections Commission polling staff prepare to distribute ballot boxes to polling centers around the country in Monrovia, Liberia, 09 October 2017. Liberians head to the polls on 10 October in the very first African nation to obtain independence in 1847. These elections hoped to be the first peaceful and democratic transfer of power from one democratically elected government to another who has to continue the countries rebuild following nearly two decades of brutal civil war.

Most people voted using optical scan ballots as we usually do, but this year each precinct had one eSlate machine. I thought of trying it, but decided I didn't want to be a beta tester in a real election. Its a good thing because the woman who was using it when I showed up (who had been there for a while, apparently) was still there when I got through. I'm not sure if she was just slow or if the new machine was that hard to figure out. I only got a glance at the machine itself because it was covered by a privacy hood.
... for the 4 March 2013 elections. So many new offices had been created, all to be filled in this election, that a detailed leaflet was provided to explain it all.
Isn't politics wonderful? We have three municipal lamp-posts like this on our property. For most of this summer, all three light-bulbs have been blown, causing inconvenience to our customers, particularly this one, which is supposed to light up the beach at night. Repeated calls to the council to replace the lamps brought no response.
However, there are local-government elections this weekend, and last Sunday all the candidates descended on us to ask for our votes. One of these is the president of the village, who has been pretty invisible to us for most of the last four years, although he is a very nice person.
On being informed of this, and other problems, he was back the very next day, in his own truck with supporters and council equipment. Not only did he replace the dead bulbs, but he replaced the existing old-fashioned lamps with the latest street lighting. As a result, the property is ablaze with light at night.
If only we had elections every month!
