On this day in 1861, James Naismith was born in Almonte, Province of Canada (Ontario).
In 1891, while teaching at Springfield College, he invented the game of basketball.
He drafted the 13 original rules for the game and lived long enough to see it become an Olympic sport.

This is an astonishing fact.
How big was the early vote for Dems? Cooper in NC, Talarico in TX and Ossoff in GA all had more EARLY votes than their opponents had in total, per @NBCNews decision desk. Put another way, they could have each received zero election day votes and still won.
