No matter which side you butter your political bread, by now you’ve heard more that you ever wanted to about the  election results and who won .

But that’s just  politics.

What you probably missed in the glare of the pundits flashy graphics and the incessant Wednesday morning quarterbacking were the real victories by and for people actuall y asserting their rights  on Election Day against the powers that be . Yes, regardless of political affiliation; against the endlessly deep pockets and scare tactics of huge corporations; AND against the mighty robed ones of the Supreme Court— they prevailed. Big time.  And they may have set the stage for the rest of the country to follow suit.
