Not sure whether you were wondering if the vote for OTHER was by or for either one, but we'll never know for sure either way. Since I made this a secret poll, you can't look at who voted for who.

Since Ghostoker withdrew from the campaign, as well as not meeting the nationality and age requirements, I decided to respect his wishes and not list him on the ballot. However, I must say that if I had to vote for either Bush, Kerry, or Ghostoker, I'd vote for Ghostoker.

The absence of Ghostoker from the ballot could be the biggest reason for so few votes thus far. He was quite a popular candidate.

I guess it's possible, since you can also make open polls where you can tell who voted and who for, that some folks didn't realize this was a secret ballot. Some of the Kerry and Bush supporters might have been too embarrassed to openly vote for them.

I imagine it's also possible that some of those who can't vote in the election (from another country, under age, purged from the voter list by Jeb Bush, etc.) might have refrained from voting, but wanted to see how it was going.

Do the VIEWS numbers count people who are NOT registered on Cann.com? If so, that could be a big reason why the discrepancy.

Maybe some of those for the 2 major parties were disgusted with the fairness of the runoff idea.

A lot of folks probably died while trying to comprehend Ed's post.

Actually, I'm pleasantly surprised that it's made it into double figures.
