With no official winner of the 2020 presidential election on Tuesday night, New Yorkers around the boroughs found themselves in a sort of election purgatory.
Frustrated that this highly-stressful election isn't over yet, many of them criticized the process on social media and lamented at the drawn-out procedure of counting every vote. And despite knowing logically that it would be a close election, seeing it actually come to pass is surprising us.
Below, we've rounded up some of New Yorkers' reactions to the drawn-out election.
Thanks to Daylight savings, we get an extra hour of agita. #Vote2020 #VOTE

#Voting in this #election is like participating in a group project with 200 million other people that you don’t trust...

This is BS. There shouldn’t be 50 sets of presidential #election rules. Or different numbers on different networks. Or various #decisiondesk s telling us how things should play out. Fn joke of an #electoral process.

This election feels like high school all over again, me stewing on the couch and cursing at all the idiots in suburbs

I'm clinging to the good people in my life. Regardless of the outcome we will press on. I will find beauty, joy, and laughter in MY life regardless of who resides in the WH. My goals aren't changing. Friends, prepare to be clung to.
