One thing that has not been mentioned here is that on the butterfly ballot, the circles for Bush and Gore are both equally distant from Buchanan. Why aren't we hearing any complaints of Bush supporters making the same mistake?

The reason it hasn't been mentioned is, well, obvious: Bush is winning (at the moment). The 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' approach. It's also a fact that if there indeed was ballot confusion, it was by the elderly...who voted convincingly for Gore. Bush supporters would be incredibly foolish to demand a revote. In fact Bush folks would be expected to say things like, 'They had their chance', 'They saw the ballot prior to voting', 'It was an approved ballot', etc.

You best believe W. and the reps would demand a revote/recount if an equivalent situation arose and HE was losing. And the dems would come back with precisely what the G.O.P. is saying right now

Just wait. You'll see.
