If someone totaled all the energy spent to make today, election day, happen. A dozen politicians, two years, half a billion in campaign donations, hordes of reporters, weeks of air time, barrels of ink, (funny (electronic)) voting machines that sometimes sound like torture chambers, poll workers, pollsters, polling places, angry lawyers, writs of law, writs of ballots, writs speeches, buttons, placards, signs & signs.
If someone totaled all this up for you, would you vote?
