I don't care about the american elections but it does bring up an interesting issue. There was a question of buildings filled with PO boxes and these being used as being registered voters. Of course most of these boxes were empty and people from out of town had two. One for work and one for home so they would get two votes. In this regard, how are the stats of voter turnout ever going to be correct or even close when people know how to cheat the system?
