Voter Fraud

With the next general election a little less than six months away, controversy with electronic voting has increasingly been a topic of discussion. No one wants a repeat of the Florida Chad.

Of course at the same time, the general election may only attract 60% of the American Public--and thats in a good year. So why do some many people care that their votes aren't getting counted onAmerican Idol?

Cause and Effect: Is this why American School children rank near the bottom when compared to international students in science, math, and literacy? Or is it American's stupidity that causes such great concern that their votes might not count in American Idol while they are apathetic to selecting a President.
