Remember when Saddan did that election and people voted with their own blood, and he got 99% of the votes? Well even then the election wasn't rigged and frauded as this one is. Even Pol Pot and Idi Amin Dada had more dignity in their rise to power than these candidates. This is a freak circus, not a serious election! You people must demand a constitutional emend that would allow the election to be ruled by the federal office, not the municipal one. I've seen better elections in Africa than this one...



First of all if the examples you cited are true and accurate, then I agree that they are complete disgraces! and serious action is required .

I will agree that there are serious problems with our election system that need to be fixed, but to say that ours is worse is just silly and an insult. I mean, in Iraq the choice was a vote for Saddam or a bullet in your head! How can America's election system possibly be worse than that!?! And if by some fluke Saddam had lost the election, do you think he would have stepped down? Come on now. People have every right disagree with America and criticize us. And I know in these times its cool to criticize America but comparing our election system to Saddam's and saying ours is worse is really offensive and wrong. What Saddam did wasn't even remotely close to an election. I do wish people would be more sensitive in criticizing America. No other is country has been more viciously attacked and vilified on this forum than my own. And I am sick and tired of it! I know we are not perfect and have made and are still making mistakes and deserved to be criticized for them. But please do it more judicially, intelligently and sensitively in the future?

And Gundark, you say there is no choice, if you don't like either Bush or Kerry, what about Nader, the Green Party, one of the other independents? or a write in?

I agree however that it would be better if the federal government controlled national elections at least then there would be more consistency in vote methods, and rules. I also agree serious action is needed to clean up these various voting frauds.

btw since you asked I had to wait about 4 minutes to vote and had no problems voting.

As you should know today is election day. I just thought we could use this thread to find out who we are all votting for. I don't want this thread to turn into another political argument thread. I just want to know who you are votting for or if you are not an American who you would vote for. Please don't give you reasons. Do that in another thread please. Just simply say who you are going to vote for.

I will go first:

Kerry.
