What if they held a presidential election and nobody voted?

Everyone would vote for Chicken Boy if that happened. They'd make us vote again and use the write-in line and Chicken Boy would get a record number of votes. \n\nChicken Boy for President in 2008!

Whoever does not get their way after the populace vote.

Because some voters voted and others didn't.

it would take a natural disaster...or total distruction of the  modern governing bodies, too much money intertwined up there...you cant get a word in other wise..even voting is screwed

We don't. It's very possible that the voting system is flawed or is susceptible to hacking and conspiratorial "set-ups".

If votes actually counted Bush wouldn't have been president in the first place.

Without question.  I never imagined in these modern times a popularly elected candidate would fail to win because of the electoral college.  The 2000 presidential election was a sham.  500,000 more voted for Gore than Bush, yet we have been stuck with this merciless demogogue for two terms.  Bill Clinton how you are missed!

There was no presidential election in 2001. \n\nGore won the popular vote in the 2000 elections, Bush the electoral vote with some help from FLorida officials and Supreme Court justices. \n\nWhen will we have direct voting for presidents?

I don't think so.  If people don't want to vote, why make them?  Will it mean anything if they just pick random people because they don't want to be there?

depends on the state or local laws.  for presidential elections, it still epends on the state laws.  sometimes people are on the ballot in one state but not the other.

In the end you only have one vote regardless of your political affiliation.  People who don't vote are the weak ones.

He can't be elected to another term. There's no way to covertly assume that power, and the act of assuming the authority to run again would turn off enough voters that he'd lose the election.

You are absolutely right. If noone in this country voted for anyone, then YES, there would still be someone elected for office. They would still say that there were voters, even when there wasn't. Actually, the day we all agree to NOT vote........ Period, is the day that the goverment officials won't care, it will no longer matter that we find out that its all staged at that point, because by then, they have us so controled and under wraps per say, that we won't be able to do anything anyway. Its rather funny I think. 30% of the people here in the USA don't vote even if they are registered to. 15-20% are not registered voters. Then you have all the felons and the prisons and those that have lost their voting priveledge. Thats another 30%. At least. There is still a large portion of the people that vote in the USA, however, its the higher elected officials who's votes matter. Watch the poles, you can see it for your own eyes. Its the majority votes in the house and the senate that counts. NOT US. They just do this to make us think that we count, that the people still have a say even though we don't. It won't be long now before this country turns its own army against us. We will be a police country before long. Its sad. We thought we were free, and all along, we were given a little while they were taking alot away from us. We never saw it comeing. We work for a small pay that barely keeps our heads above the water. If work applied with you instead of you appling to work for them, what would be your self worth? How much would you charge that company to employ you? I bet it would be more then $6 -$9 an hour. I know my self worth, sweat, and hard labor is worth more then that to me. But to this country......... our physical body labor and the pains and the down falls from that labor that comes when we are older is and means nothing to the officials of this country. What is their hard labor? Signing wagers, ledgers, passing new laws, making meetings, lunches, dinners, riding in limos, have security to protect them, making public announcments. And how much do they earn? A few million a year, live in a big fancy, comfortable home, and never worry about getting through the day with a nickle, a quarter, and a few pennies in their pockets because they just paid the rent, their car insurance, and the light bill. We are real trouble, and we have been since Bush got into office. Noone thought twice about this. Come to find out, this war was all about the Iraq oil. Bush and his greed to have their oil. This is what our husbands, and sons, and daughters, and wives are dieing for and have died for. Blessed be.................\n\nPs... when is it that we make the laws and decide on new ledgers and how and when are the people invited to make these  changes or not? We don't. We are given a few to vote on during the voteing period, but look at the majority of law changes and new laws being added that are soulie up to the goverment officials, the house and the senate and the president everyday, that we are not apart of, that we find out once they have been made and decided for US.............. We never had a say in anything. we are pawns on a chess board and its the goverment that is playing us on a daily basis.
