Election Day used to last one day only. But some powerful people felt it wasn't enough, and they turned it into an entire season of jolly protests, festive lawsuits, decorative recounts, finding gift-wrapped ballot boxes under the tree, and making lists and checking them twice, so that all good self-identified boys and girls could finally be rewarded with congressional seats and governorships.
If there can be 12 Days of Christmas, why can't there be 12 Days of Elections? A recent post by Margaret made me write this song. It's not finished, so your contributions will be most welcome. Here's a YouTube original for inspiration.
