Sorry, but I don't buy it. That comes under the category so prevalent in our society of "It's not my fault. Someone or something else made me do it." Ater publishing the ballot for anyone to study at their own convenience for as long as they want and after providing a sample ballot, it boggles the mind that anyone would think that a ballot with two votes wouldn't be invalidated or that someone else should be blamed for punching the wrong hole. As some are prone to say, democracy is a responsibility and knowing how to cast a vote is part of the individual's responsibility. Mike, I'd buy this if it happened everywhere and they routinely threw out ballots for errors. But this happened in ONE COUNTY in Florida in which the largely Democratic population (and also primarily an elderly one) were given ballots that were confusing. 19000 ballots were thrown out! In one county! If you can show that that happens routinely in elections, I'll agree that its the voters fault. I also think that it's interesting that the controversial state re: improprieties happens to be the state where doubya's brother is the governor. Dr.Id@andhisdadWASheadoftheCIA.com
