Next to November 2, December 13 was the most anticipated day in politics this year. This past Monday marked the day of the Electoral College vote, when the next president of the United States is officially elected. Ironically, it was also the first day of the vote recounts in Ohio??which means that they began at the precise moment when they ceased to be able to impact the outcome of the election.

In Iowa, the Des Moines Register reports that 81,000 new voters have registered since the beginning of the year, many through the New Voters Project (NVP), a non-partisan group aiming to boost youth turnout. The efforts of NVP extend beyond just Iowa; in Wisconsin the group...
