Every night is election night

Back during my TV news days, I always loved election night.The red blazer, the repeat live shots, the energy of folks at "headquarters."

But the best part was the map.

True confession time, I am a geography geek.
I buy maps everywhere I go.
I tell mocking friends and my husband it's a manageable vice, I've never heard of anyone ending up destitute from a map habit.
And on election night I love seeing the states light up on the big red and blue USA graphic.

So what's this got to do with anything?
Well thanks to the good folks at Google, everyday I get to see a map of where our readers are. Over the past few weeks it's been especially fun, since there are so many firsts.
Our first Hawaii!
Our first Alaska! And I was waiting on Florida just like in 2000.

So dear readers, thanks for lighting up my map!
And Louisiana where are you?
