The polls opened at 6:00 a.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4, 2008. Twenty-two Presidential candidates, representing eighteen newly-formed political parties, were on the ballot - as well as twenty-five resolutions which voters were being asked to vote for - or against. O.U.T.R.A.G.E. had created new rules for this election: NO election results would be broadcast until after the polls closed at 6:00 p.m. NO television moderators, "analysts", "experts', pundits or newscasters would express their opinions as to the winners or losers until after the polls closed. NO candidate would declare victory or defeat until after all results were in; a sophisticated computerized tracking system had been installed to instantaneously record every single vote as it was cast. As had been expected, record numbers of voters were standing in line at the polls, ready to cast their vote for a new democratic form of American government. No longer to be a republic, which would be ruled by the people's representatives, this new democracy would be ruled by the people, of the people, and for the people. Elected officials would be installed only to do the people's bidding - not to take it upon themselves to make laws that were of benefit only to their fat cat friends and favored campaign donors. Every individual elected today would understand that (s)he had no right, or means, to vote for legislation that would enrich his own circumstances, or the circumstances of her 'chums'.
