Exemplification Essay: Voting In The United States
I went to bed before the final votes were tallied last night and woke up early with some hope, but after hearing the election results I find myself in a state of disbelief and dissapointment. I can't quite wrap my brain around what happened in our country last night. I love and support America and I believe we are strong and will survive this but I just don't understand how so many could be blind to the disgressions and hate of a man who will now run our country for the next 4 years (and hopefully not a day longer).

I sure hope I'm wrong and that the United States will be left a better place after the next 4 years...I sure hope
so.
