Mother is not going to be happy about this at all. Spankings and an early bedtime for sure.
So great to see so many traditionally red areas going blue last night. I'm not entirely a fan of either party, but in the end, one sucks rocks way more.



For the first time in nearly 40 years, Democrats have taken control of Columbus, Indiana—the hometown of Vice President Mike Pence.

On Tuesday, Columbus voters saw four Democrats elected to City Council seats, with only three Republican incumbents claiming re-election victory.

In one district, Democrat Jerone Wood beat out Republican incumbent Dascal Bunch by just one vote, according to local newspaper, The Republic.

In another, incumbent Democrat Elaine Wagner beat her GOP opponent, Jim Hartsook by several hundred.

Meanwhile, both of the city's "council at-large" seats went to Democrats, with incumbent Tom Dell retaining power, while Grace Kestler also swept to victory.

Republican incumbents David Bush, Frank Miller and Tim Shuffett also managed to hold on to their seats.
