Fall sunsets are often lovely in South Carolina. After a stressful election season, tonight's sunset seemed like a celebration of peaceful voting.
Palomino Valley in Washoe County, Nevada. I wonder how long it will be after the election before this election sign is taken dow. There were places with over 20 election signs in a row at some crossroads.

It is such a lovely day, spring!
(Looks like a good turnout this election, probably 80%)

This truck had a UAW Kerry sticker on the driver's side and a Bush sticker on the passenger side. Couldn't get close enough to get a clearer picture.
It'll be interesting to see what smart aleck comments show up on this one.
Another pic I did for work, to illustrate a story about elections.
Strobist: Nikon D50, ISO 200, 1/500th, Sigma 24-70mm zoom at 24mm and f11. ONe SB600 at camera right at about 1/2 power if I remember correctly, snooted onto the piece of paper and top of the box, and one diffused SB24 on about 1/4 power (I think) behind the ballot box fired directly upwards.
Not sure this works entirely. I have a couple of others where you can see more of the top of the box, so it's clearer what it's all about. Hey, I'm a writer, not a snapper!

A Moussavi supporter was injured in a demonstration. Witnesses reported that at least one person had been shot dead in clashes with the police in Vanak Square in Tehran.
Tehran’s streets erupted in the most intense protests in a decade as the police clashed with demonstrators who claimed that former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had stolen the election.

At the end of the election, families and friends gathered in a restaurant next to a temple to watch the results come in on the TV. Was almost like watching soccer match.
I could tell it was election time in Canada and Ontario.
Had a rafter of 7 turkeys show up in the yard today.
Not sure which political party they represented but they all fed off the corn that was out for the little birds.

Today (sunday) has been Election day here in Sweden and I have been voting and up following the results which are very even, so it is hard to tell what our government will look like.
Check out this short article and see why:

I read this light hearted piece about our election today and it did make me laugh.
An explanation of how our Election turned out.
So the Conservatives won...but lost ...Labour lost ....but won....the SNP won and lost in Scotland but still won and the Conservatives won in Scotland but lost.. .the government was Tory but now can't be even though it is still and they need to make some Irish people Tory so they can be in charge even though they were and still are...UKIP lost but because of Brexit they already won ...18 Independent won but didn't win because they don't have a party so they lost but are now MPs so they won ...the winner, Theresa May, is being told to resign because she didn't win and she won't because she won even tho she lost...
All seems perfectly straight forward to me. In fact clear as mud.
On 1 November there were elections for the Danish parliament. Flags hung to dry on a staircase.

I was on a brake between assignments with the railroad. There was a roll of film that had a few shots left so I decided to grab the camera and take a walk from Union Station, down Pennsylvania Avenue to the The Ellipse, just out side of the south lawn of The White House. I wanted to document the mood during this important day in our nations capitol.

A poster encouraging people to vote in Israel’s 2022 General Election. The slogan says “If you don’t wake up, a surprise awaits you in the morning. On 1 November go out to vote for what’s important to you.” A shocked man is in bed next to the smiling features of the leader of Israel’s religious-right, Itamar Ben-Gvir.
This poster is in Nazareth, an almost entirely Arab city, and was presumably aimed at countering what had traditionally been low turnout among Arabs in Israel’s elections. 2022, however, like most recent elections, saw high Arab voter participation, and Ben-Gvir entered government anyway.
