This is an incredible story of strength: the life story of Ahlam Anteer of Iraq, now a U.S. Citizen who voted Tuesday.

You see, Ahlam's father was kidnapped and murdered in Baghdad. She described him as "a high government official and international lawyer."

Three of her brothers were murdered, as well.

Ahlam, a teacher, and her mother fled to northern Iraq where her mother died from the stress of losing most of her family. Ahlam worked her way to Syria, which at the time was not in the throes of civil war as it is today. The United Nations came to her rescue, sending her to Sterling Heights, Mich.

Early on, the TV networks made the obvious calls so the electoral count bounced from one candidate winning to the other being in the lead.

As the night progressed, the GOPers in the crowd got more excited, especially when Donald Trump took Ohio.

Would this trend continue? Would nearly all pollsters and pundits be wrong?

Ada and Liberty Township voters were in a good mood on Tuesday.
