1. 199,936?

That's 2/3 the population of the country. Something tells me this poll has been skewed...

[Pithlet]

4. It is?

I think it's 199,936, not 1,199,936. Even so, that still wouldn't be 2/3 of the population of the US.

[Lorien]

5. lacking some zeros

only one hundred ninty-nine thousand, nine hundred and thirty six.

U.S. population was at about 289 million at the last census.

6. Which country? Lichtenstein?

I think you need to check your calculation :-)

[BlueJazz]

7. A kindly reminder that your math is a little off.

13. US population is 265, 000,000...sometin tells me you need to eat carrots

:)

19. Yes, yes, thank you all. I missed it by a factor of 10^3

Sorry, didn't mean to have a traffic jam on my ass like that.

[Lorien]

2. 4% for Nader

*sigh*

[IronLionZion]

3. I wish the election was this week

8. what's up w/ that link?

:wtf: i'm getting routed to a page that says..

The resource cannot be displayed

The page you are looking for cannot be opened by your browser because it has
a file name extension that your browser does not accept.


???
anybody else seeing that?

9. Just voted

Worked fine for me. Results work for me also!

10. about every 4-5th try at it

it appears to be going to the right page, and just hangs trying to contact 'passportimages.com' which as far as i know is trying to load some browser crap like alexa or something, which my Zonealarm is blocking...i guess. Maybe it's my paranoia radar getting set off...

crap, i wanted to vote!

:(

11. Earlier today I got the page, but no poll.

Just then, I got a comm error, tried again and got the poll. Very slow between pages.

You probably have to try a few times, wait for some script stuff to time-out, etc.

15. MSN is having troubles today

I think one of their systems is dead. I can't get MSN messenger to run, nor can I log into hotmail. Perhaps they forgot to renew their domain name again?

On edit: see here for details about MS troubles.

17. okay, thanks

for the responses. I guess there are problems there that i can lower my radar a notch..

i was wondering if a script kiddie had taken over the poll...


peace,

12. Of course, it means nothing:

unless it is somehow representative;
unless it remains unchanged until November;
unless sorted by state for Electoral College counts;
unless registered voters are able to vote in all states;
unless votes cast get counted.

Yeesh!

14. SHOOT... I Hit * By Mistake!

I really could puke. Are MSRNC's votes tallied by Diebold? Maybe I could protest that my mouse wasn't working properly?

[RebelOne]

16. Kerry still 58%.

I cheated. I voted from my office computer and then again from home computer.
