WASHINGTON D.C. - Now that voting has ceased across the country, the entire nation stopped what it was doing Tuesday and began frantically reading through the Wikipedia entry for "Electoral College (United States)". In an effort to refresh its collective memory after a four year break, the electorate came close to crippling Wikipedia's server, which suffered under the heavy demand of 140 million visits at approximately 6:02pm. According to Wikipedia's analytical report, almost 95% of its post dinner-time traffic searched for "Electoral College", with a wide majority of these clicking on "How it works", as well as "Criticisms."
