Good evening, Shacknews, it's Thursday night. It's also Election Day 3.0. I feel like each time we wake up, we get treated to the Majora's Mask title card announcing how long we have left.

Well, let's take a moment together to check out some of the stories posted on Shacknews today. After that, maybe there are some funny Election Day memes we could look at together. Let's go!
