W. Virginia elects youngest legislator in America

[Sparky Wonderwolf]

Saira Blair is 18 years old and officially became the U.S.'s youngest state lawmaker as of last night. She beat a 60 year old incumbent in the primaries for her party (GOP/Republican) and then beat her Independent & Democratic opponents with 63% of the vote! I was shocked and it truly amazed me what this girl was able to achieve! It makes me wonder if a large wave could come if given the thought and time to organize such a thing.

I have a general dislike for politics due to corruption and my own ideals and ideas being very different than your average everyday person (or without all my fancy fluff I am simply a weird person, shocking right?) and would rather spend my time playing games, writing stories, and animating and sculpting models in Autodesk Mudbox...

also I am waaaay too lazy but good for her I guess?
