James, I'm from Texas too, and I am also a Bush supporter all the way, but different counties in our great state have different methods of voting. When I lived in Washington County, we marked our ballots with pencil like you do, but in Harris County, we have those punch ballots like they have in Florida except the punching is on only one side of the page.
Never the less, a teacher somewhere in Florida, had her 5th grade students punch an unofficial ballot exactly like the official one, and no student had a problem and voted as they had intended. It was then tried on 1st grade students, and 19 out of 25 had no problems with the ballot. By the Gore camp saying all these people could not read a simple ballot, they are saying that their own supporters are stupid, which many of them probably are, but that is no excuse for redoing an election. If they are THAT stupid, they should not be allowed to vote in the first place.
