11/4/14 Election Night Parties

I spent the least amount of time with Elissa' Silverman's celebration because I was at two other parties waiting for the candidates to show up.  Neither  showed before I had to leave, and one of them secretly told people he would not show until 11:00 pm.  It was after 11:00 pm by the time I arrived at Elissa's, but right at the time the returns were starting to be complete, and Elissa realized she won.
