Your chance to vote in the US election

By John, on September 27th, 2008

The Economist asks what would the outcome of the November presidential election in the USA be, if all those likely to be affected by the outcome could vote. They extend the electoral-college system to include every country in the world. Roll up and register your vote here!

I wanted to cast my vote on the link but there is no world map to do it, just a big blank space with a brief flickering of what could be a world map.
On the second page I am instructed to “Return to the world map to cast your vote.” Again, a big blank above the candidates’ profiles.
Has it been changed?

Anyway, indirectly I have supported casting a vote as I mailed off my husbands absentee ballot:))

Hi Maria,
It still works OK for me. I used Firefox (on a Mac). The map is displayed using Adobe Flash, so you may need to install the flash player for your web browser (Download it from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash). I hope that helps….
Cheers,
John
