The lead story in the New York Times Election Day, “At Election’s End, A Sunny Tone Meets Dark” was penned by reporter Michael Barbaro, last seen composing a loving vignette of a joyous Hillary Clinton dancing in the rain.

Hello to all. I appreciate being given the awesome task of handling tonight's NewsBusters 2016 general election thread. We'll go live somewhere around 5:30-6 p.m. ET and hang in there as long as we need to (hopefully not as long as 2000, for those of you who remember staying up til 6 a.m. the next morning and STILL not knowing who won -- and we wouldn't know for another 5 weeks or so.)

Hollywood knows how to party hard, and many in the entertainment set are planning to do so on November 8. But some are not yet ready to celebrate.

On Tuesday's New Day on CNN, during a discussion of how the election of a President Hillary Clinton could dramatically change the U.S. Supreme Court, co-host Chris Cuomo fretted that it was "really frightening" to hear Republican Senator Ted Cruz talk about obstructing Clinton's judicial nominees and allowing the number of Supreme Court justices to remain at eight. Cuomo: "I think you got Ted…

There’s nothing like a fake president played by a Hollywood celeb to really inspire civic duty. That’s why Julia Louis-Dreyfus, known for her Emmy-winning Veep role as politician Selina Meyer, took to the screen to encourage the millennial vote, specifically regarding the issue of climate change. (If you’re getting tired of celebrity vote videos, please know that we wholeheartedly share that…
