5. Did it have a measurable effect on the election results?

So many pundits were running on "getting tough" on Ebola and using the hysteria as an excuse to tear down the government when it was actually performing very competently and responsibly. I was mildly concerned about Ebola but the hysteria over it was OTT much of the time as it apparently is much harder to spread than some of the unintelligent/ill-informed pundits and politicians claimed it was and, as it turns out, the CDC was way more on top of things than it will ever be given credit for, which is extremely frustrating. *sigh*
