I wanted to experience what it was like to be in an election headquarter during a presidential contest. Fortunately for me, the democratic election HQ in Los Angeles at was the Stadium Club at Dodgers Stadium, which is not far from where I work.
I have to say that the logistics of this event were poor. The Stadium Club is long, narrow and curved and it was jammed with television crews plus their cables, mixing boards and communication equipment. Moving about was cumbersome and slow. There were also at least a dozen different monitors on the wall, each seemingly with a different channel covering the election. Not one of them had the volume turned on or had the close captioning on. Instead, they played loud 80s dance music so that people had to shout to talk with each other. I would have had a better experience watching it all at a bar. It was a strange night.
This wide view was stitched from two separate images, and amazingly the stitch didn't distort anyone's body.
Como, 2 Febbraio - 4 Marzo 2018. Trentuno foto scattate a partire dall'inizio della campagna elettorale sino al giorno delle votazioni politiche nazionali (compreso). Quasi surreale lo scarso uso di manifesti; praticamente nessuna scritta politiche sui muri, mentre si nota la presenza di piccoli adesivi, attaccati prevalentemente sui pali. Mi sono ispirato al "Saggio sulla Lucidità " di Saramago nel pubblicare le bandiere italiana ed europea all'inizio ed alla fine della serie.
South Dakota Public Broadcasting held a debate with all four U.S. Senate candidates in South Dakota October 23, 2014.
The race gained national attention.
Some polls show a close race among three of the candidates – Democrat Rick Weiland, Republican Mike Rounds and Independent Larry Pressler – with Independent Gordon Howie far behind. They are seeking the seat held by Sen. Tim Johnson (D), who is retiring.

More from Election Night
Celebrated at our little hidden bunker somewhere in downtown Los Angeles.
The night was electric....
Like a burden had just been lifted and a door finally opened. I have never seen my people so happy...
LIGHT BREAKS - A series. Grab my friends from the throngs of a party and throw them into the light. Instant. Spontaneous. Thrilling.
And, freed from all that's earthly vile,
Seem hallowed, pure, and bright,
Like scenes in some enchanted isle
All bathed in liquid light.

Pride.be - Pride 2018 - Your Local Power
Feeling free and at home in your neighborhood, town or city. Be and show yourself in the streets. Holding hands with the person you love and smiling at each other in public. Our personal lives occur in the public space. Considering the approaching communal elections, everyone (youngsters, seniors, families, couples and all people - no matter what gender or orientation) asks the local politicians: How do you make a difference? What do you do to improve diversity in our everyday life? Where the rain makes way for the sun, we will walk proudly under the rainbow!
We will all be heading to the voting booths for the local elections on 14th of October. Deciding which circle to colour in is an important decision. A conscious decision can lead to a better living environment in your city or municipality.
And we're not just talking about the redesign of the local park, the policies in the municipal school, or the proper functioning of the local Public Centre for Social Welfare. Your local municipal or city administration can also make a real difference and turn the place where you live into a true rainbow bubble, if that's what you'd like, of course.
So it's no wonder that this year's Pride is focusing on the local elections. Belgian Pride is putting the municipalities and cities in the limelight in 2018, or better yet, at the end of the rainbow! We want the slogan 'Your Local Power!' to encourage municipal and city administrations to enact explicit, integrated local LGBTI+ policies.
Municipalities and cities can and must make the difference. They must accept responsibility for the well-being of all their residents. Flying the rainbow flag at the local government offices during the Pride period is a symbol of this. This is also a way that the municipality or city can show their solidarity with the LGBTI+ community. This symbolic gesture is not an infringement on neutrality. On the contrary, we can only actively work on ending all forms of discrimination once there is recognition for diversity and inclusion.
Policy-makers can make the lives of many citizens that much rosier by taking both small and large actions: by introducing a diversity charter in sports clubs, by making information on gender and sexuality available at the local libraries, by providing logistical and financial support to local associations, testimonials, and courses in the municipal education system, by holding a queer film festival in the local movie theatre or cultural centre, by holding LGBTI+ actions in community centres and youth centres, by providing information on what to do if you are the victim or witness of discrimination, by offering space for intimacy and (LGBTI+) sexuality in assisted-living centres, by training local police precincts and municipal officials, by including Equal Opportunity as an explicit competence within the city administration, etc.
The list of things that cities and municipalities can do is endless. Plus, many of these actions are very easy to implement. Sometimes, your local administration only needs a little boost, and you can give them that boost in the voting booth on 14th of October. A good local administration meets the needs and requirements of all residents. What does the LGBTI+ community in your city or municipality need?
You can already send the politicians a signal that is loud and clear on Saturday, the 19th of May. Make your wishes heard during the Belgian Pride.
We hope to see you there! Everyone is welcome!

How important was it that Sheridan avoided a rout of his army? If Sheridan had been driven from the Valley, Confederate commander Robert E. Lee might have stripped troops from Petersburg to reinforce Early to again threaten the capital. With the election three weeks away, Early might have been threatening the capital on Election Day.
Harper's Weekly, Nov. 5, 1864
Sheridan riding to the rescue, from the cover of Harper's Illustrated Weekly. For a larger view of this cover, click here.
Sheridan's stellar performance did more than just avoid that disaster, which surely helped Lincoln's election. Inspired by the torrent of newspaper coverage, Thomas Buchanan Read quickly composed a 63-line poetic tribute to Sheridan and Rienzi titled "Sheridan's Ride." It was read all over the country in the week before the election, adding to the pro-Lincoln tide. As well, three days before the election, Sheridan and Rienzi were featured on the cover of Harper's Illustrated Weekly, with a circulation exceeding 100,000.
Writing in "The American Heritage Picture History of The Civil War," historian Bruce Catton assessed the impact of Sheridan's victory:
Coming on the heels of (victories at) Mobile Bay and Atlanta, Sheridan's conquest was a tonic that checked war weariness and created a new spirit of optimism. No longer could the Democrats make an effective campaign that the war was a failure. The war was visibly being won, and although the price remained high it was obvious that the last crisis had been passed.
Catton added: "[Maj. Gen. William T.] Sherman, [Admiral David G.] Farragut, and Sheridan were winning Lincoln's election for him."
On Election Day, Nov. 8, less than three weeks after Sheridan's exploit, Lincoln rode a groundswell of support to victory, receiving 2,218,388 votes to McClellan's 1,812,807, gaining 212 electoral votes to 21 for his rival. The one-time militia officer handily defeated the warrior McClellan.
I'll leave you to determine which party may have commissioned this General Election poster. Or could it just be even more 'fake news'.

Political candidates participating in the upcoming elections, from the opposition parties and the coalition, were able to share their platforms in an open and transparent setting. Candidates showed civility toward one another and shared ideas that reflected genuine democratic participation.
