The Last Bits from the Election

Voting Machines Election Math4 out of 5 dentists prefer chairs to mitt romney
Just a few remainders from the election. First up are the last of the political xkcd comics, the first two from the 2008 election and the last one is from yesterday. Following that is satirical comic from Scenes From A Multiverse, also from yesterday, and right at the bottom is comic from Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.

Comics Alliance has an article about a comic detailing the 2012 elections that UK newspaper The Guardian created for its readers.

And finally both The Mary Sue and Vox Magazine have articles about who superheroes would support in the elections. The Mary Sue's is more comical and done in cute drawings (as seen below), while Vox Magazine's is more serious and covers most of the A-listers from Marvel and DC.
