Why are none of you guys answering my question? Are these votes world wide?

During the polling period, about 35% of our total traffic was from non-US visitors.

If so, why haven't you broken it down by country?

Out of concern for privacy, we did not log IP addresses with votes, and as a result, are not able to quantify a regional breakdown.

This changed my view of who is on ATS in general. Neither of the big two would give ATS the time of day or admit to knowing anyone here and yet they garner that much of the vote. ATSers are more mainstream than I expected. Neither good or bad, just different than I expected.

Well, I am pleasantly surprised. I voted for the Constitution party, who got over 10% with no major campaigning.

Too bad I can't do that in the actual election, but that's another story.

Kudos to SO for hosting this little 'experiment'. Now, where's the link to file my appeal with the SCOTUS?

Tuesday should be fun....

So this is the popular vote, we will see where the collegial vote places the final decision.

Not sure I spelled that correctly, but you know what I mean.

Looking forward to spending the election night with all of you here on the forum.

Did you notice too?


Whatever is said on ATS is not really meant, is it? -- apart from this poll.

No surprises here, lets hope the results are the same on E-Day, although i dont really like either candidate.

I guess that for the most part we are going to once again kneel down to the international corporate elitist and remain slaves to the Federal Reserve and the Military Industrial Complex..At least to a somewhat lesser degree than would be possible if the Neo Cons had their way. ...... None the less, the Keb Mo song,"Victims Of Comfort" is playing in my head, and I have pity for those that can't see the truth, through the illusions. ... I am glad that there are at least a few free thinkers here that want what is best for the country, and refuse to sell out to clever one liners, and fear mongering.

I am a registered Republican and I am voting third party. I registered as a Republican so I could help take the party back from the global elitists who have stolen it from the hands of honest American citizens. I urge everyone to register as Republicans so we can band together and really make a change.

Well, that pretty much confirms that ATS posters have a liberal bias

Not necessarily. Many people often misunderstand the mindset of the typical "conspiracy theorist." We tend to appear to lean against whichever political ideology occupies the White House as a matter of habit. If Obama wins, then you'll see the apparent leanings of ATS posts and opinions lean more toward conservative, merely as a product of criticism and scrutiny of the liberal administration.

I think the relatively high percentage of votes for alternative party candidates shows the true nature of visitors and members of this site.

Bingo.

I can't count the number of times I have been called a lib due to my criticism of this putrid admin, yet I am registered as a REPUBLICAN.

I have come to the conclusion after several concurrent special-interest serving administrations from BOTH sides that there is ZERO difference between these parties whatsoever--They both serve the "ruling class" in the end, at the expense of the populace.

Anybody thinking Obama is going to change the course that we've been on for the past 30 years, has been hoodwinked yet again by the kool-aid brigade that has kept the populace asleep while their pockets have been being picked for the past few decades...

Guess nobody saw my post about how I was able to vote multiple times?

Or could it be that all you Obama lovers are not talking about it so nobody will be able to see that it could be rigged.

Honestly though, I don't think this poll was rigged, but I think that he being able to vote multiple times should be discussed, anyone else able to vote multiple times?

You will probably find that most Europeans voted for Obama and the 'others' instead of Macain. To Europeans, Macain seems to be much the same as Bush and we dont like Bush.

Another thing, to Europeans, Socialist Policies are the 'Norm', so we are not scared of them and actively embrace and want them.
