Election Elegance & Eccentricities

The U.S.A. voted for President in 2000 (and, after lots of wrangling, we eventually actually had a new President); we re-elected him in another contentious election in 2004, and now, in 2008, it's time to do it all over again, this time with no incumbent running. There were lots of other elections then, as well as at other times before and after, at the local and state level. This page has links relating to such elections and their candidates. There's generally a lot more here while a major election is in progress than in off years.

Real World Polls

These are usually duller than the online variety... in presidential polls, boring guys like the Republicans and Democrats end up topping them, instead of the interesting candidates like the Libertarians who dominate on the net... (or, used to dominate, anyway... these days, the 'Net is getting depressingly mainstream, too)!

Gallup Polls

Other Stuff

VotePair: Make your vote count more by "swapping" between a vote in a "safe" state and one in a "battleground" state... Kerry supporters in states already going heavily for or against him can get third-party supporters in close states to vote for Kerry instead, in exchange for your third-party vote. Interesting concept.
