I demand a recount!

Recent news reported that the Ohio anti-smoking amendment passed by 75% of the popular vote. But news reports, and politicians, will not tell the TRUE story here. And the truth, in this case, could set smokers free.

You see, there are 7.85 million registered voters in the state of Ohio. of those 7.85 million voters, the anti-smoking amendment got about 75% of the votes cast. But since voter turnout hovered just below 50%, that means that in reality, the antismoking amendment garnered support from only 37.5% of the popular vote. The decisive winner in this election was the apathy party's initiative, which was not available at press time.

The apathy party, as astute political observer (and former member, until he posted an article for recruitement) ParaTed2K has observed, has been the decisive winner in many elections in American history. But they are largely ignored in American politics, due to the fact that they don't care.

It's time to recognize the TRUE American majority party. For life. For Liberty. The Apathy Party doesn't care, why should you?

(Editor's Note: Party chairman Milton C. Friedmeier was unavailable for comment on this article. Friedmeier was elected chairman for life in the apathy party's general election in 2000 at a meeting which he failed to attend. He has not commented on any major political issues since his election, and, in fact, his continued existence is questioned due to his continuing silence.)
