- A south Georgia man said one week after the election, he still does not know who the next president will be. 
 
 “I was invited to an election party to stay up into the night with everybody gnawing their nails, hanging on and I thought, oh there has to be a better way,” said Joe Chandler. 
 
 Chandler said he was fed up with the political system and decided to go to bed on election night without finding out. He intended to find out who won the next morning, but when he woke up Chandler said he felt so peaceful he decided to wait until the afternoon. A few hours turned into a week. 
 
 “Having subtracted myself from this political fracas and all of the mayhem of the digital media, I kind of found the center of the cyclone, it is very peaceful in my bubble of ignorance,” said Chandler. 
 
 Chandler works from home and said he has stayed away from televisions, newspapers and social media. When he does go out, which is seldom, he wears headphones and a sign that says “I don’t know who won and don’t want to. Please don’t tell me.” 
 
 Chandler's daughter said she keeps her father updated on some news, including the anti-Trump protests, but does not say which side is taking part. 
 
 Chandler said this was not planned, adding that he is not protesting a particular candidate. 
 
 “Not a big fan of either, but I did have a huge preference of the regime that I was hoping we would avoid,” said Chandler. 
 
 Chandler said he does not know how much longer he can hang on and might be ready to find out next week. 
 
 “I am almost ready for somebody to put me out of my misery, but when they do, I have a feeling I might be stepping back into a world of even more misery,” said Chandler. 

 BRUNSWICK, Ga., Nov. 21 (UPI) -- A Georgia man who still doesn't know the results of the presidential election said his accidental art project began with a simple party invitation. 
 
 Joe Chandler, a Brunswick artist, said he found the presidential race between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump to be so stressful that he declined an invitation to an election-night party. 
 
 "I was invited to an election party to stay up into the night with everybody gnawing their nails, hanging on and I thought, oh there has to be a better way," Chandler told WAGA-TV. 
 
 Chandler went to bed not knowing about Trump's eventual victory and when he woke up feeling peaceful the next day, he decided to make the feeling last. 
 
 "Having subtracted myself from this political fracas and all of the mayhem of the digital media, I kind of found the center of the cyclone, it is very peaceful in my bubble of ignorance," Chandler said. 
 
 He said it wasn't too difficult for him to avoid having the results spoiled because he works from home and has kept clear of TV, radio, newspapers and social media. 
 
 Chandler said he wears headphones when he leaves the house along with a sign reading, "I don't know who won and don't want to. Please don't tell me." 
 
 "People have been very respectful of my decision," he told NBC's Today show. 
 
 Chandler said he knows he can't avoid the results forever, but he hasn't yet figured out how he wants the news to be broken. 
 
 "I don't really have an exact exit plan," he said. 
 
 He said one idea would involve using a box of balloons like a gender reveal party -- the box would contain red balloons for a Republican victory, and blue for a Democratic win. 
 
 "I am almost ready for somebody to put me out of my misery, but when they do, I have a feeling I might be stepping back into a world of even more misery," Chandler said.

 BRUNSWICK, Ga -- He may be the only person in America who doesn't know who won the presidential election. 
 
 Joe Chandler is an artist in Brunswick, Georgia, and he says he opted not to know the outcome because the election cycle was so divisive, he doesn't care who won. 
 
 “I was invited to an election party to stay up into the night with everybody gnawing their nails, hanging on and I thought, oh there has to be a better way,” said Joe Chandler. he told Fox News. "I'm still living in a bubble of blissful ignorance." 
 
 Joe says he has kept himself busy with his work, and hasn't been in close contact with anyone. 
 
 He works from home and is careful to avoid the internet and TV.
– A Georgia man has taken "ignorance is bliss" to a whole new (seemingly impossible) level, and he definitely earns his standing in UPI's "Odd News" category. WGN reports that as of Sunday, Joe Chandler, an artist from Brunswick, still had no clue who won the presidential election—and as far as he's concerned, he wants to keep it that way. "It is very peaceful in my bubble of ignorance," he told FOX 5 last week, adding he's quite content in the peace he's found in the "center of the cyclone." He explains he opted out of hearing the Trump vs. Clinton results after being invited to an election night party, noting he was asked "to stay up into the night with everybody gnawing their nails, hanging on, and I thought, 'Oh, there has to be a better way.'" The way Chandler hit on to keep his peaceful, easy feelin' in full force was to go to sleep without waiting up to hear who won. And he felt so chill the next morning, he decided to prolong the revelation till later that day, then later that week, then … indefinitely? He says it hasn't been hard for him to stay out of the loop, as he works at home and has simply avoided TV, newspapers, and going online. When he does venture out, he wears a sign that says, "I don't know who won, and don't want to. Please don't tell me!" (He also sports headphones in case some wise guy shouts out the winner anyway.) In a Saturday Skype interview, Chandler told the Today show that he knows he'll need to give in eventually, but for now he's got no "exact exit plan." "I am almost ready for somebody to put me out of my misery, but when they do, I have a feeling I might be stepping back into a world of even more misery," he says, without revealing which candidate he may have supported. (But will he have to hug a boa?)
