hey, can anyone tell me why every states voting process is different? I early voted here in Texas and we just used a sharpie marker to fill in who you wanted to vote for but apparently that isnt the case everywhere. wouldnt it just be easier if the whole country had one standard? and also if john kerry does get elected president ( this is where i would add my political views but i wont!) how will he passed all these "changes" he is talking about in a Republican dominated Congress. thanx bye.
I dont know... but would it have something to do with each state counting its own votes... therefore they have the choice on the how for ease???
The whole system is outdated :/
The founding fathers felt that the masses couldn't really handle electing a president so they created a system for each state to vote, the number of electoral votes that each state gets depends on the number of senate and house reps that the state has, because of this "weaker" states would be at more of a disadvantage creating a split vote based on the popular vote of the state so i doubt that the system will be changing anytime soon :(
Sorry i couldnt pull up anymore info than this, but it does seem to be that each state is independant in their voting.

every candidate promises ****, most of it doesn't happen, don't worry about it.
Each system is different because of a number of reasons, but for the most part it's simply a matter of technology and obtaining the different means. Other state's prefer certain means because they might find it more accurate.
well i am from india and i do see this kina intresting ,what exactly is the electoral college.last time i remember you guys had a very close clash btw algore and gwbush( seriously i din expect al gore to loose) but like hoe long does it take for the results to be out .?
any ways i sure hope you din vote for bush.
4 years ago it took a shitload of lies, bullshitting, and a LONG wait to find out the outcome. This year doesn't appear to be the same although talk of lawsuits and courts and a whole orah of bullshit is being talked about.
Just a quick question (and I don't wanna sound mean or rude) but what difference would it make to you (being you live in India) who was elected? I mean, no offense or anything.. but currently no foreign policy other than typical trading is going on concerning India. Just my thought's, sorry if I came across as rude.
We are all going to die, the world is going to hell.
Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnit Why can't they just make it so that there are Three Presidents, whoever takes the top three votes.
The world is truly going to hell I'm afraid :( On top of it all, we are going to end up continously following this "axis of evil" bullshit path and end up in North Korea in a year or two. I wonder how that'll go with the American people once a country who can actually bring it to us serves us. Poor easily fooled americans. :(
no it was not rude, hmmm how does it concern india . you rembember outsourcing as an issue in the elections this year,so if out sourcing gets stopped then we gonna loose some jobs here , also to mention the vise we get to US ,student ,tourist and buisiness , lots of it does concern , the stock market and a lots of other things.Quote:

Hrmm, that's correct but Bush and Kerry share virtually the same opinions on those particular issues (atleast on foreign students, student visa's, tourism, etc).
Hi,
Hey yourdeadin don't worry about Outsourcing ....................no matter what government get elected can't do much about it .........................a Company Looks for profit thast it ......and you can't stop MNC's form outsourcing if they really want to ....................though there are some areas that i feel should not be outsourced.Quote:
ou rembember outsourcing as an issue in the elections this year,so if out sourcing gets stopped then we gonna loose some jobs here
The Current Outsouceing Drama is the same as the Chinese Manufacturing Units (coz their products were cheap and our Units were not able to compete ) generated in the 1980 's ...................people made a hue and cry about it .............now everybody around the world buys chinese goods ..............//me looks around the house :eek:
it's more of political propogand ....................you can't stop a private sector company for doing it until the company itself wants to ......................until there is profit they will do that .
My concern though is ther should be laws regarding what should be outsourced and what shouldn't be .....................thast more important than trying to stop it alltogether.
Oo and last time i checked Bush was more in favour of outsourcing than Kerry .............:)
Spyder world now has become a small place........... IMHO it might not matter to US who gets elected in india or Pakistan or Kazakistan .................but to them it does ..................Quote:

And don't argue, Bush referring to the terrorists as "muslims" countless times on the air has done this.
Well Bush has won and Kerry has already conceded so i guess my thread is now outdated lol. anyway thanx for the opinions
I second that, he has done that numerous times. I guess I can see your point, since most of India is muslim. Dunno why I didn't see that in the first place, but thanks anyways er0k :)Quote:

Hi Spyder32 ,
Since when most of India is muslim ?..............India is a mutli-ethical community ..............There are mostly hindus ...:)80% Hindu, 14 % Muslim, 2.4% Christian, 2% Sikh, 0.7% Buddhist, 0.5% Jains, 0.4% otherQuote:

Indian just has a large population of Muslims which would give India the second or third Muslim population largest in the world thought.............but still it forms only 12 to 14 % of the total population.
And er0k i really don't see much point in your comment which i wuld say would be more suited to Pakistan or Indianeshia or rest of the Muslim countries better...............I would say India being affected and fighiting this so called Islamic terrorism for nearly a decade now and lost more than 60, 000 innocent people to it................ it might be a consern for them what the US policy is about this terrorism ....................They have always accused US of using Doulbe Standards in this so called War on Terror .
--Good Luck--
