Hey, Quartermass, just like Americans because of the way the primaries and the electorate are set up!

Hey! This is incredibly unfair. As an American, I demand my vote in the Eurovision Song Contest!

Ladies and gentlemen, the results of AmeriVote2004 are in, and the following non-binding resolutions for the rest of the world have been approved: France: Stop making fun of us when we try to speak French. Spain: Get rid of the tacky English tourists so we can enjoy your beautiful country without looking at shirtless lager louts everywhere we go. Portugal: Who are you, anyway? Germany: Don't think we haven't forgotten the war. But you do make nice cars. Scandinavia: No, this is for all of you. We know you think you have separate countries up there, but we really can't be bothered. Newsflash to Scandinavia: the real countries think you're silly. And if you were half as morally superior as you claim, you wouldn't have the highest suicide rate in the world. Switzerland: We know what you're up to. But if you keep sending us chocolate and watches, we might keep forgetting to do anything about it.

Wee, that was fun. I suspect it's probably more secure with better audit paths than Diebold's system too.

I'm loving this thread, laughed out loud like a lunatic scaring my colleagues The Benrik folks behind this boast that the result will be communicated to the US media 48 hours before the real vote and will no doubt swing it!. Uh-huh, yeah.. right.
