A polling place in New York ca. 1900.<\/p><\/div>\n

A reminder: Walt Whitman really, really liked Election Day. Nothing could quicken the man\u2019s pulse like a good showing at the polls.<\/p>\n

As \u201cElection Day, November, 1884\u201d has it, he preferred the spectacle of democracy\u2014the \u201cballot-shower from East to West\u201d\u2014to any of our nation\u2019s natural wonders, including, but not limited to, Niagara Falls, the Mississippi River, Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Great Lakes \u2026 you name it, Whitman thought the vote was better than it. (You\u2019d think someone could\u2019ve sold him on the Rockies, at least.) One can imagine a latter-day Whitman passing up a trip to the Grand Canyon and instead hunkering down at the TV, flipping anxiously from network to network as the precincts begin to report, wringing his hands. Not, mind you, that he would have any particular stake in the outcome; he\u2019d just be along for the great democratic ride, clucking his tongue at the gerrymanderers of the world.<\/p>\n

(If you need an antidote for all this unalloyed patriotism, try Charles Bernstein\u2019s \u201cOn Election Day<\/a>,\u201d which contains, among many excellent lines, \u201cThe air is putrid, red, interpolating, quixotic, torpid, vulnerable, on election day.\u201d I know which poet would get my vote.)<\/p>\n
