Colorado.
Colorado's ballot measure designed to make the state a democracy (sorry if I sound a bit jaded here) did not pass. I could write for hours on why I think it should have passed, but that would be irrelevant. However, at least we know that it did not fail because educated voters were against the idea:
Another woman, who declined to reveal her choice for president, said she had voted against splitting Colorado’s Electoral College votes. "My children have all graduated from college already," said the voter, as she rushed to her car. "I’m not that interested in that issue anymore."
You have got to be KIDDING me. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
These are the people who vote. I cannot even begin to express my disbelief.

I'm right there with you in your disbelief. Yet despite long lines and high-turnout, in this instance and in races Nationwide, it was the stupid vote that turned out.
Nothing left to do now but wait for and dissect the demographics. But forget Red and Blue states, is it the case that the stupid people just have a majority in America?

This is why the Founders didn't provide for a direct election of the President or Senators.
