What we missed: favorite post-election images edition

It’s been a big day. Frankly, we’re all experiencing a bit of election fatigue and are somewhat tired of reading election-related news and analysis (although there is plenty of great stuff out there). Instead, here are some of our favorite images from the post-election news cycle!
