According to a new web site, aliensvote.org, one in ten people in the U.S. is an alien (I'm assuming they mean LEGAL aliens). That's about 29.1 million people! The folks at Cuban Council, a small American digital design firm, want to know how these people would vote in the upcoming presidential election if they were allowed. So far, only 143 have submitted their vote.
