In a curious campaign twist, voters from outside the United States have been blocked from the official Bush-Cheney 2004 website. Starting around midnight Monday (US time), visitors to www.georgewbush.com and its aliases, including www.bushcheney2004.com, have seen their access screened based on the geographical location of their IP address. Those outside the US have been given a 403 “Permission denied” error and refused access to the site’s content.
Of course it’s arguable that Bush-Cheney campaign are entitled to deny access to non-US voters, but what about the roughly six million potential overseas voters?
I guess if they are really interested, they could try Google’s cache.
