dude, on the first day of advanced voting in florida, the machines all screwed up.
heh, those guys cant do anything right.

[mole]

in our system, we have an overall leading party with a head spokeman and then each party can 'win' areas or parliamentary seats allowing that party to control each area who they have the majority vote for.

[Lord Lanair]

Our system is easier to understand... and more stable.    

[RipperRoo]

Err, how is your system easier to understand?
Over here, the guy with the most votes wins...

[mole]

I don't know much about Parliamentary gov't, but I thought you can hold elections to determine the Prime Minister practically whenever, and when the ruling party loses support in the legislature, they and their leadership gets tossed out and replaced by a totally new group.  :unsure:

Elections must be held within 3 and 5 years of the party coming to power, and no.

unless we're gonna have a revolution anythime soon. you may be thinking of partys splitting though, i.e. the UK independence party, 3 guesses as to what they want?

[Lord Lanair]

Independence from the EU?  :miffed:

Didn't read all the posts, so I maybe repeating what was said, but...

Some states/districts had a checkbox that you had to put a check on to make sure the damned people won't think you're a retard. (yes. that's right. mentally instable. and if you didn't check off, your vote got scrapped.)

Anyways, on one hand you have a guy named after PUBIC HAIR.
On the other hand, you've got a smartass guy that basically can say all he wants and could get away with it.
On the remote off-hand, you've got an insane lunatic for the Green Party.
In the jails, you've got, I believe, two former candidates that got taken away because they tried to enter the Presidential debates.

That's not much of a choice, folks.
(Try matching the people that WERE available with the descriptions I gave, it's fun... btw, the two people you probably won't know about are: Michael Badnarik and Green David Cobb )

Edit:
Looky all the problems found in the election vote counts

Actually, if I could have voted, I would have gone for Badnarik.  Since I live in New York, it's not like my vote counts anyway!  LOL
