SoftVote's Results:

As for SoftVote's position after the 2004 Election, it will still be a place for people to exchange ideas on political issues, expect that instead of being a presidential poll it will be dedicated to being a political blog. Everybody is welcome to post on anything that is related to politics and you can also add your site on SoftVote's links page.
