“I just hope it’s not a knocked-down drag out like Gore v. Bush all those years ago, where it comes down to Florida or something like that. That would just be awful. If it’s over by tonight that’d be great,” junior Taylor Acker said as he watched election outcomes closely.

Graduate student Karthik Gollanapalli joined SUAAB and Student Government's Political Party on Nov. 8. "This is my first time in the U.S., so I'm just going through all of this election and I just feel very excited," Gollanapalli said. — Graduate student Karthik Gollanapalli joined SUAAB and Student Government’s Political Party on Nov. 8. “This is my first time in the U.S., so I’m just going through all of this election and I just feel very excited,” Gollanapalli said.

Senior Christian Filsouf takes a moment to reflect on the election. "Both of my parents are immigrants. I'm the first generation American. So being able to actually vote in this election by birthright is pretty cool. I think no matter what, either president is probably going to be a one-term president," he said. — Senior Christian Filsouf takes a moment to reflect on the election. “Both of my parents are immigrants.
