Over time, time has passed, and things have changed.
But always, ever since 1788, the votes are cast, the votes are counted and close ones get adjudicated, and to date, every candidate but one since that first election, has gracefully accepted its result.
One thing that has happened in tandem has been who could vote.
That has been an ebb, and it has been a flow.
Since 1965 it has been a flow.
The law caught up with the Declaration.
Lotta good things have come of that.
We have had a lot of acceptable - good even - Presidents under that flow.
Republicans and Democrats.
An African American even.
As I stare at the currently being-implemented ebb and contemplate its immediately imminent consequences, I shout out, probably too late, but loudly:
"SCOTUS: KEEP YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF OUR ELECTIONS".
