It's election day in the midst of a global pandemic where many states are relying on a never-before-used system of voting that will probably delay presidential election results for days, enough time for conspiracy theorists (including our sitting POTUS) to cast doubt on the veracity of the entire system and to *potentially* spark violent protests across the country! With those very low-key stakes in mind, it's natural to be gripped with anxiety and doom today.
We thought we'd offset that mood with a great equalizer: Adorable animals who have no grasp of electoral politics! Here are a few gems from the Oregon Zoo's delightful Twitter feed to calm your election day nerves:
