Countdown to November 2004 Elections
[COLOR=Yellow][SIZE=7][URL=http://helios-arts.com/clock.html]Countdown Clock Here[/URL][/SIZE][/COLOR]
So I couldn't find a good site that had a countdown clock on it i could swipe or link to, so I did what was probably the easiest thing, I just put one on my personal site and am linking to it.
Remember - The voter registration deadline is always 15 days before an election. So your last day to register is October 18, 2004.
there's more than just presidential elections on the november ballot.
but yea, i've issues with presidential voting. i probably will end up voting nadar anyway. it's not too effective of a stance to just not vote, or so i hear...
here's another counter [url=http://costofwar.com/]Cost of War[/url]
Vote Bush & Chaney!

yea, it's a free geocities site. not a whole lot of bandwidth. dunno why it did that though. it didn't get many hits today. anyone else wants to host the clock, here's the script for it.
var dayPARAM0 = 2;
var dayPARAM1 = 10;
var dayPARAM2 = "2004";
var dayPARAM3 = "Election Day";

And people had the nerve to tell me that my assholery and abuse bears no fruit. HA!
It's not easy having a good time.
Even smiling makes my face ache.
With all the media push for voting this year, I wonder if turn out will increase. I mean, it has been in every magazine, including the silly girly ones. People like APC have taken the voter registration booths along with them at their concerts. A/X made a vote t-shirt. It is the new breast cancer. Voter awareness.
i think the turn out will increase slightly because of the large amount of dirty hippies who hate bush
i kid

s'what you get for speakin' up, and speakin' what's on your mind. 
cheers man, and thanks for being one of the couple to talk a bit of sense into me.
anyone else heard about the UN monitoring US elections?
Recalling the long, drawn-out process in the southern state, nine lawmakers, including four blacks and one Hispanic, sent a letter to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan asking that the international body "ensure free and fair elections in America", according to a statement issued by Florida representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, who spearheaded the effort.
"As lawmakers, we must assure the people of America that our nation will not experience the nightmare of the 2000 presidential election," she said in the letter.
"This is the first step in making sure that history does not repeat itself," she added after requesting that the UN "deploy election observers across the US" to monitor the November, 2004 election.
The lawmakers said in the letter that in a report released in June, 2001, the US Commission on Civil Rights "found that the electoral process in Florida resulted in the denial of the right to vote for countless persons".

that is a great idea. now i wonder if the UN will accept this proposal and actually monitor the elections. i tried to search the UN's site, but so far they've not reported on it. part of me is weirded out by this though, it almost just gives me a bad feeling that they will monitor it and find out that for the past several decades, the elections have been rigged, but that's just the little bit of paranoid pokin' out of me. still, logically i love this idea.
i don't. i think it sucks we have to be monitored like some half-assed third world country that can't get its shit together. it sucks that the people who shove "freedom" and "democracy" down the rest of the world's throats can't even hold its own presidential elections without supervision.

We have never had good presidents except for Carter.
surely you jest. carter couldn't get anything done whatsoever. i'm not saying i want a gung-ho, fuck-the-world president like bush, but come on. that doesn't mean the best alternative is a sweet, nice old man who did nothing of substance, good or bad.

it would maybe help if we should stop killing them

Bush was elected with cheating in Florida. Who is checking US elections?
[QUOTE=Lethargica]how many % are voting? 50? 40? is this democracy?[/QUOTE]
Asked the Swede...
[QUOTE=Lethargica]how many % are voting? 50? 40? is this democracy?[/QUOTE]
it's impossible to figure out how many are going to vote. but we can look to see how many did vote:
--55 percent of people of voting age - 1992 presidential election
--54 percent of people of voting age - 1996 presidential election
--59 percent of people of voting age - 2000 presidential election
so basically, your guess is as good as mine. it'd be a tough guess, but due to the media publicity recently, and current interest in ousting bush, i'd go so far as to say it will be in the low to low-mid 60 %.

what does this have to do with our *own* elections?

Cause then they can't vote for president, duh...
There is hope, but not for us.
play around with the electoral college on this site. make believe you hold all 538 electoral votes in your hand and give it a go....
