Are there any other examples in US history where the results of a presidential election resulted in celebratory street parties?

Great question. I’m hoping for some real answers.

In the meantime, I can’t help but share this fabulous photo I took as the whole friggin city of SF celebrated in the streets.

No – I don’t remember anything like this in my lifetime. The only thing comparable that I’ve heard of (wasn’t around for) were the street parties when World War II. ended.

I know I never cried with happiness after any other election.

@Augustian, ditto.

I don’t know either, but this year I felt so patriotic I voluintered to work at the polls I missed all the partying!
