Pie chart misuse reaches new level of awfulness

I've seen some terrible graphs in my time, but this is just ridiculous.

Could people support more than one candidate? If so, the figures may not be wrong - but putting them into a pie chart was an appalling idea. Also the modern tendency to tilt pie graphs to make them 3-D makes the segments at the bottom look larger than equally sized ones at the top, which defeats the whole point of such a chart.

Oh, I didn't think the figures were wrong, it's the (presumably kneejerk) use of the pie chart that was upsetting.
