Just a LITTLE over-exaggerated, hmmm?

Wow. When they get it wrong, they really get it wrong!

Jon Henke pointed out this little gem this morning, from People's Daily Online (an English version of Chinese news)

American voters have shown little interest in picking candidates for the Nov. 7 elections that will determine control of Congress and elect more than one-third of the nation's governors, USA Today newspaper reported on Monday.

Of the 50 states, 26 held primaries in June. Sixteen of the 22 states that have certified figures or provided estimates to the newspaper recorded a lower turnout than in 2002, the last national election not in a presidential year.

Turnout has not cracked 40 percent in any state, and in most, primary participation was in the 20-30 percent range.

So far, the year's rock-bottom was witnessed in Virginia. In the June 13 Democratic Senate primary that was open to all Virginians, regardless of their party, only 3.5 percent of 4.5 billion eligible voters showed up to nominate former Navy secretary Jim Webb to face Republican Senator George Allen in November. (emphasis mine)

I hope they realize that Virginia's actual population is about 7 million, and that of the United States as a whole is about 295 million.

Hm. Perhaps they're counting the graveyard vote, the felons' vote, the dually registered vote, the illegal aliens' vote... Heck, I bet they're just assuming that anyone in the world has a right to vote in Virginia's elections!
