Global vote results

Welcome to Globalvote2004, the site where non-americans have been able to vote in an election that affects the entire world. Over the past three weeks, we have recorded over 700,000 visitors, with one person voting every second at peak times. This website recorded over 113,552 votes from 191 countries.

The winner is John Kerry (Democrat), with 77.1% of votes.

A BBC article on the story behind globalvote which for me has the quote of the day (so far):

One Australian mock vote website puts it bluntly.

“Let’s help the US figure out who their president should be,” says the site. “Lord knows they spend a lot of time ‘helping’ other countries with theirs.”
