The commentator shows a map of a state with a grid of counties glowing either red or blue.
He zooms in on a blue square. A library must make it that way.
He zooms in on a red square. A church must make it that way.
He stands in front of that great screen like a weatherman.
Percentages and precincts and chances of rain.
All of these numbers somehow balancing out at zero.

Watching the election is like watching a giant text message.
Better to just step outside and see if it's raining, I feel.
