Election day

I did the early voting thing last week, but today’s the actual election day. And here’s a story about a future election: An Election, by John Scalzi. Here’s a snippet:

“And what do we know about the demographics of the third district?” James asked.

“It’s a human-minority district,” David said. “I know—”

James held up his hand. “How long has it been since a human councilperson held the third district seat?”

“It’s been a few election cycles,” David admitted.

“A few?” James asked.

David threw up his hands. “Fine. It’s been forty-four years,” he said.
