Voting seems to be over for the voting for the Hungarian bridge, and here’s the votes as they stand currently:
Whoo hoo! We seem to be in the lead, and the site has disabled the ability to vote. If any of my Hungarian readers can verify that the voting is indeed over, that would be great.

I read somewhere that the Hungarian Government stated that they would not be naming the bridge for anyone who was not Hungarian. I guess this was pretty recently. Have you heard that, or am I hearing things?

I have heard that the Hungarian government will not name any public feature after a living person. That may be what you're thinking of.

I heard that rule as well, but I also heard that some astute members of the Colbert Nation found records of several deceased Stephen Colberts. So, officially, the bridge can be named after the dead guy, while the Stephen Colbert of Colbert Report fame can relish in the fact that a bridge was unofficially named after him :)

Also, Stephens name were he Hunagrian would be "Kolbert Istvan", bearers of which name can surely be found in Hungarian history if you look hard enough.
I for one welcome our new truthinessful overlord, and can't wait to put up a sign at the building site with the now official name!
(The bridge is due for complteion in August 2008 only, and has been in perpetual delay for about 20 years now, so don't hold your breaths.)
The voting is indeed over btw.

The voting is over, Colbert won, Stewart is second, but the Name-Giving Committee won't name the bridge after him.
shocking…

For the Hungarian officials to name the bridge after Stephen Colbert would be a testament to global unity. They opened up the voting to the world, and the world answered. The people of Hungary should be proud to, with this one small step, be among the pioneers breaking down the social barriers that keep the cultures of the world apart. This single gesture could be the first domino to fall in a cascade of multinational cooperation on a scale never before seen. It certainly wouldn't hurt. It takes a stronger nation to embrace one who is not their own, for the benefit of humanity, than to reject him to save face.

I am part Hungarian and voted for Stephen……nearly 50 times. As my family….the Ungars ….. came to this country in the 1880′s, I had little choice in the matter. Anyway, I have been thinking. I have A+ blood coursing through my veins. I am willing to donate, if I am the right blood type…. Anybody out there have Stephen’s best blood match? How about it, Stephen? Just a little transfusion and you, too, could BE Hungarian.

I don’t understand how Stephen has only 93,163 votes. When they changed the rules, did they start over with the voting? Before they changed the rules, Stephen had over 6 million votes! If they weren’t going to name the bridge after a living person, why allow voting for people alive in the first place? They just didn’t want to name it after a non-hungarian. So the hungarians cheated. I demand a recount!
