Looking at the States and the UK, vote liberal!

we're on average at ~80% kerry!

Interesting I must say Tenshu!

Heh, Bush has a whopping 12% of the vote over here.

Hopefully that's about how much Howard will get for our election in October.

I doubt most of the 917 Afghan voters are actually Afghan. The same goes for a number of countries.
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

Wow, Kerry should run for president in Croatia. 96% over there.
Interesting how Bush gets 95% of the vote in Niger.

I think it's interesting that Bush has a decent percentage, if not a majority, in a lot of those so-called "hot-spots." Like Myanmar, Both Koreas, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.

I feel it is strange that Niger has a whopping (compared to other countries) 397 votes.

What happened to the votes from Niger?

It appears somebody set up a distributed human or robot voting group to cast votes purporting to be from Niger.

More than 5000 votes had been cast by the time we noticed this.

Those votes have been disqualified and the IP addresses of the voters banned for the moment.

A close look at the data and the server logs showed that this concerted effort, be it human or robot in nature, did not originate in Niger.


Apparently they count them, though, different from what they wrote there

I can't vote in this poll for the same reason that I can't vote in the real election; there's no one worthy of my vote. I'll probably throw a bone to Nader just to make an anti-Bush/Kerry statement (similar to how Democrats vote for Kerry just to make an anti-Bush statement). Has anyone noticed that when Kerry supporters (in the media) are asked something along the line of "can Kerry do a better job in Iraq?" they generally go off on an anti-Bush tangent instead of telling us how Kerry will do better (similar to what the Kerry campaign does, itself). Reasons to vote for Kerry...because he's not Bush? I can think of a thousand people who aren't Bush, and would probably do a better job than both of them.

Bush actually has votes in France :D

Does nobody see the inherent flaw in the poll? Not only can someone say they are from any country they want to(as is evident by the Afghanistan numbers) but they can vote multiple times.

Kerry will be just as bad as Bush. Bush will probably win. Most of you are probably at least middle class, so it won't really affect you all that much. The only thing that might change but probably not significantly is if Kerry is elected the lower classes might have a better chance to get some health care, maybe some tax breaks. Nothing much.

It seems (if you look at the very bottom of the page) that Åland was originally separated from Finland in this poll. Now they have fused them. And we didn't even need to send the tanks to reclaim it...

That's what I was thinking while reading it. Although I didn't notice the part about voting multiple times.

yeah I find it hard to believe that out of 160,000 votes less than 30,000 are by americans

Not to mention that the people voting are mostly all male computer nerds. If that matters...

Of course. But how many of them are running and have a chance of winning?

is it really necessary to mention that you don't like either candidate in every thread about the election?
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

Acctually we are, we have our own parliment, and the queen is a desecndant of james the 7th (i think its seventh) of scotland, so there, we're a country, and wales is a principality.
nope.

I would say that in a thread about the election where people can voice their opinion about which candidate they prefer, a person's opinion that they like neither candidate is just as valid and important.

Anyways, a little off topic, but Sine, what did you use to create this image? It's amazing.
