Let the world vote for US president

By Murray Bourne, 07 Feb 2006

Since the US President influences all of us, and less than half of the eligible voters in the US even bother to turn up to vote, why not let everyone in the world vote for the US president?

Any guess what percentage of the vote Bush would get then...?

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
