• Wanna know how the presidential candidates spent their last days on the trail? Read here.
• Worried about voter fraud? Take off the tin foil hat. Mother Jones says not to believe the hype.
• Meanwhile, The New Republic argues fervently for the dissolution of the electoral college.
• Michael Lewis' profile of Obama from 2008 is an essential read, even if you don't care much about politics. It's just a well-written look into the life of the most important figure in America before he became the most important figure in America.

• Curious how Obama won the 2008 election over John McCain? Revisit Newsweek's epic seven-part feature chock full of behind-the-scenes reporting.
• Nearly everything written by Joan Didion is worth a glance, and her 1988 piece on the reality distortion of presidential campaigns is as sharp and astute as anything she's written.
• Hendrik Hertzberg is one of my personal favorite political writers, and his piece about Hurricane Sandy and its effect on the presidential campaign is about as much of a measured and well-reasoned take as you'll find.
• Did you get an I Voted sticker? Good job! The Atlantic argues in favor of its greater importance.
• Curious what the Inauguration speech will sound like in January. Probably like this.
