The polls have opened in the final day of voting in the 2012 US Presidential Election. Therefore there is nothing left for me to do expect urge everybody to vote even if they don't agree with my choice. I don't mean this in the sense that in a healthy democracy everybody needs to participate. I mean it in the sense that the scenario all the pollsters are talking about will see both candidates receiving 269 electoral college votes making it a dead heat. If that happens the House of Representatives will choose the President and the Senate will choose the Vice President meaning that will be very little difference between the way the US chooses it's leaders and the way China chooses it's leaders.
So whether or not you personally choose to vote could well be what decides the outcome of the election.
12:00 on 6/11/12.
