Pat yourselves on the back America

Not bad:

More than 130 million people turned out to vote Tuesday, the most ever to vote in a presidential election.

With ballots still being counted in some precincts into Wednesday morning, an estimated 64 percent of the electorate turned out, making 2008 the highest percentage turnout in generations.*

And that youth vote...came through. Eighteen percent of the electorate and Obama won it with two-thirds of the vote.


*Note, this is in dispute, the Great Orange Satan says this may be overstated, quite possibly because western Republicans stayed home.
