In every election,cat3movie someone's victory party is abruptly cancelled.

Following election results, the team behind Hillary Clinton's victory rally at New York City's Javits Center had the somber task of packing up all the fun stuff and putting it away.

Confetti, already loaded into several cannons for a positive outcome, was scooped back into boxes.
