Go vote, you slackers
 
If you live in the USA, you have a civic obligation to discharge today.

But more importantly than that, SE4 should ship today!

Going to vote is my reason for leaving early today.

I did early this morning. Haven't missed an election for almost 30 years, even when I was overseas. Remember, a lot of people died so that you could have this right.

Yes, its VERY important to vote. He is absolutely right, people died for you to be able to vote. (Yeah Im preaching but this is true)

Aye, alot of people died over the Last two hundered and twenty-four years to keep this country free. Its an incredible disrespect to blow off the vote because you think "my vote doesn't matter".

I've always thought election day should be a holiday, myself.

The major problem now is the increasing evidence that the whole elecroral process is rigged
http://www.votefraud.org/

"Increasing evidence?" Oh, please.

Votefraud.org looks like just another unfounded conspiracy theory site. This time, it's one that seems to be motivated by the desperate idea that Pat Buchanan "really" won the Republican primary (vs. Bob Dole) back in 1996.

Readers outside the United States: please pardon our rabid rhetoric on the web over the past few months. Americans get this way during an election year...

1,700 decided the election so far. I feel bad for all those people who believed Nader when he said that voting for him would not effect the election.

Prediction that the lawyers will get involved and the court will force a run off
for the state of Florida, unless the gap widens.

I seriously hope not. The more attorneys get involved ( in games or in real life ) the more money they make and the more every one else gets screwed. Regardless of the result, we need to move on and live with it.

Not at all. It's much funnier than most of them. Possibly the most brilliant piece of muddled thinking I've come across in ages.

The "conclusive evidence" is a photo of the box used to collect exit polls. His argument is that all the major news services use the same data for projecting the results, if follows they should come up with the same results. The results are different, ergo the analysis is a fraud. If the exit polls are a fraud, then the election must be a fraud.

Great for a laugh. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif
