The Morning Call
Considering its six time zones, it just clocked 8th November in some states in USA… Election Day… “TIME“http://time.com described, “the results will either save or ruin the country. Americans will emerge from election day ascendant with a strong new leader who heeds their cries, or they will plunge into a dystopian future of hopelessness and violence.” This year’s us election however is a significant yet strange as the Republican and Democrat candidates have been at the centre of scandalous events that raised questions as to who is fit to be the 45th Commander in Chief. However, considering the blue and red states and the pattern from 2012 that put Obama back into the White House, results could either be too close to call without counting every vote or else legal battles over election procedures may delay the result or force a recount.
