This point could have been about why it’s important to accept the election results no matter what. But let’s be honest – we’ve run that point into the ground.

Sure, it is true that you should accept the election results no matter what. But do we really need to keep repeating ourselves?

Instead, we want to take the time to celebrate everyone that voted.

If you have your voter registeration set somewhere in Downtown, consider yourself lucky. Not only were you able to vote close to campus at the Human Services Building but you likely did not have to wait long either.

Despite how easy this sounds, we still want to thank those that had to camp outside their polling place out of fear that they wouldn’t make it to class in time if they went later.

While those not from Pittsburgh may not care very much what happens on the local level of government, chances are that the person who holds top office does matter to you.

As we always say, The Globe does not endorse political candidates. However, Donald Trump is the projected winner of Pennsylvania and likely will win the 2024 presidential election.

If this fact goes along with the results you were hoping for, then we’re happy for you. If this fact is a disappointment for you, then we feel for you. Regardless, it is important that we accept these results and do not scream and rage about a fair election. These processes are upheld for a reason – the system is not broken just because your candidate of choice didn’t win.

We would like to thank every person who voted this Tuesday. Thank you for showing up to your polling places whether they were a bus ride away or hours away. Thank you for applying for an absentee ballot and getting it sent away on time. Thank you for having faith in the process.

Some people may not think that elections can change much or that the results are pre-determined before the first vote is even counted. We can say with confidence that this is not the truth.

Have faith in democracy. Continue to do your part.
