US is a 200 year old democracy, while Ukraine was not even an independent country 15 years ago. That's why.

India, which is a 50-year old democracy, conducts its elections far better than does the US (never heard of a 7 HOUR wait anywhere in India; and the turnout in India is usually 60 to 70 percent or even higher). So maybe you are right! ;-)

Some people have to work for a living...and they'll lose their jobs if they stand in line for 7 hours...when they are supposed to be on shift.

Many people said screw their jobs...getting rid of Bush is worth getting fired over...but many others have to feed their kids...that has to take priority.
