The right to vote is rather sacred. I want to see it protected from error as well as from intentional abuse

What intentional abuse could there be if it was a previously used ballot, approved by both parties, and the Democratic person who helped create it was actually trying to help the Palm Beach residents by making the print larger (that's one reason it was on two pages like that). She is completely stunned and very upset and can't sleep because people are suing her and she had only good intentions.

Hive, please get a bit of a grip about the FUD--you're believing all of it. You're apparently believing people tried to ask for new ballots and were refused and that this was somehow intentional abuse, to give people confusing ballots, as if anybody KNEW the state of Florida would be this close, and figured that only those who want Gore would screw up.

Clearly this will jumpstart a move to create a national format for ballots, and that's a good thing. But that's for next time.
