Still, I liked this quote: '"I came to vote because wasting one's ballot in a democracy is a sin," he told the BBC.' Not too common a view in the US these days, it seems like.

What do you expect when the previous choice we've had was between Al "I Invented the Innnernet" Gore, and George "Nucular" Dubbya?

AFAIK most local/state elections have even lower turnout than the recent ones for the prez. Anyway, you could always have voted for Nader/Brown/Tim May/etc.

Hmmm... that's a thought. Tim May as president. Election slogan: "You're *all* going up the chimneys."
