Specific details on the legality of the Palm Beach County ballot: The relevant links are here: leg.state.fl.us leg.state.fl.us leg.state.fl.us The first link above specifies that for electronic ballots, the voting square can be on the left OR the right, thus the Palm Beach County ballot was legal. The Democrats are looking to the second and third links as justification for their contention that the ballots are illegal. Alas, those rules only apply for "counties in which voting machines are not used, and in other counties for use as absentee ballots not designed for tabulation by an electronic or electromechanical voting system." Since the votes in PBC were electronically counted these rules do not apply, and the ballot is legal. Again, this doesn't touch another vague portion of Florida law that states that if the will of the electorate is undermined, that a revote can be ordered. It seems to me that a bold judge could take this position, he could. I imagine the Gore campaign is in the process of finding exactly how bold each judge in Florida actually is.
