What would happen if Americans went on a voting strike?
Question: I know this would never happen, but what would happen if all Americans refused to vote on the 2008 presidential election?
Answers: better yet what would happen if 100% voted
Even if every American chose not to vote the candidates wives and kids would vote for them and whomever got the most votes out of that small number of people would win.
That would have been awsome during the last eight years. . .but not now.
Someone would still win. Look what happened with Bush.

you would probably end up with the same idiot for president by default! VOTE PEOPLE!!!
I think the other countries that hate us would love that!
alot already do
Half of them already don't vote. if mainstream America didn't vote, then all the fringe lunatics who do vote would get their fringe lunatic candidates in office. Which might not be a bad thing.
The one with the whitest piano teeth and tan leather handbag style face would win.
I'd still vote, and my vote would count so much more than it does now!
a president would be elected based solely on the discretion of the Electoral College.
you might get mr Bush, for another term........
Then King Gorge will stay in power. <}:-})
It seems like that already happen with less than 50% of the elgible people acutally registered to vote and less than 35% of them casting a vote during Presidential elections.
I know this will be not happen, if than they do election again.
Also I just want to say everybody need to go and vote, this is the only one opportunity and after that nobody can't complain.
I have often wondered the same thing----
That perhaps apathy is the answer for reform in U.S. politics.
im not sure how effective their voting system is anyway, i heard a lot of bad things about it, ok yes thanks to Michael Moore, so maybe it was all crap because ive heard a lot of bad thing about him to so.... but if they really didnt vote then i think the political parties would just put a president in power anyway!
Well, if for some reason there were no votes, I believe it would be considered a tie. In that case, if I remember the Constitution correctly, the judgement passes to one of the branches of government. I want to say it would go to the Congress to decide.
what chilling said.
We have the electoral college and that's their job. I guess if they decided to quit and no one else wanted to take their place that would be kind of cool. Maybe all of the canidates would come together and bethe president. Then that would be bad because of the amount of different views that people have.
If our choice is Hillary vs. Rudy, you might get your wish, because it won't matter, they're both the same.
EDWARDS 2008!
I am not sure- A better option would be to go on a write-in vote strike- where we all write someone in. There really is no good candidate running right now.
We could always write Jeff and Jimmie in for President and Vice President, but then they would have to take a pay cut- and everyone would say that they cheated on the election.
