Not sure if someone's already pointed this out, but here are some facts concerning the voters from the 2004 US election:

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/res...0/epolls.0.html (http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/US/P/00/epolls.0.html)

1% of the voters who earn more than 100,000 dollars a year voted for Nader.
While 0% of the voters who earn less than 100,000 dollars a year voted for Nader.

It would also appear that generally the more educated you are the more likely you are to vote for Kerry.

About 23% of the voters who were gay, or bisexual actually voted for Bush (how is this freaking possible?!).

The majority of the Union workers voted for Kerry. Thats interesting.
Probably shows that the Unionists (and therefore further left, usually) voted for Kerry. Wheter or not it was a 'lesser of two evils' vote is still unsure, obviously, but he seems to be their faviroute.

And heres something i don't really understand:

Why did 6% of Republicans vote for Kerry? <_<

Well they obviously rounded. I&#39;m guessing if they were more precise you&#39;d be able to see a lot more out of it, at least in Nader&#39;s direction. He&#39;s sorta "robbed" by the rounding, particularly in the place where it looks like rich people voted for him.

As far as the homosexual vote going for Bush, there&#39;s this rather famous homosexual web logger who supported Bush. I wouldn&#39;t be surprised if his influence and other&#39;s like him is felt in that community. He was on real time with Bill Maher a few times. I was always amazed at how anyone homosexual could vote for someone who very strictly opposed their equal rights, but I suppose watching out for terrorists is much more important&#33; Can&#39;t get married if you&#39;re dead cause Saddam killed you with WMDs that don&#39;t exist&#33; :lol:
