I started counting the votes when the first boxes arrived. I managed to keep an eye on the totals at first, but pretty soon there were enough boxes that I had to focus on my numbers.
As I worked through my boxes I kept my emotions in check, even as I began to sense that the numbers were on the side of sanity and progress. Every box nudged up the buffer a little more, by the time I finished I felt confident.
Then I saw the totals.
Well, at least my local neighbors were mostly on my side, at least.
