1st Election Day total lunar eclipse for US!!!

A total eclipse of the moon will fall on the upcoming Election Day in the United States, Tuesday, November 8, 2022. And folks on social media are already asking … how often does this happen? So, we looked back and learned that 2022 will feature the first Election Day total lunar eclipse in U.S. history. And we found it won’t happen again until November 8, 2394.

If you live in the U.S., or elsewhere in North America, you can see the full moon pass through Earth’s dark shadow in the wee hours before sunrise on November 8. Eclipse details here.

While watching, or while voting on November 8, you’ll know that an Election Day total lunar eclipse is rare indeed. . .

Before 1846, no other Election Day lunar eclipses took place, since the founding of the United States on July 4, 1776.

So, as stated above, the upcoming total lunar eclipse on November 8, 2022, will showcase the first Election Day total lunar eclipse in our nation’s history!

Mail-in ballots will be altered and space-lasers will be firing on Tuesday!
To prevent election fraud, REPUBLICANS VOTE IN PERSON ON WEDNESDAY.
Thank You.
