This weather will put it to the test.

Look at the photographs of campaign events.

You can tell who will stand in long lines in bad weather.

The storm will be gone by election time but I imagine damage and power outages will linger on. By that time polling places and alternative polling place should be open.

My thinking is the Earth is ticked off because nothing was mentioned about Climate Change much in this election.
