Waiting for election results can be boring. While you’re waiting to see who’s going to lead the free world, rock out to some election-charged tunes.

“Of Ballots And Barricades” by Ramshackle Glory
All of the shenanigans of the election season have brought out the inner cynic of the American electorate. “‘Cause I swear to God our leaders, they will be the death of us / There’s no ballot we can cast to set us free.”
“The Star-Spangled Banner”
An oldie but a goodie. Add a little classic flair to your watch party because tonight is, among other things, patriotic.
