william,

You're apparently dramatically behind on the news. That ballot was NOT illegal. Turn on your TV and listen to people that actually know something. Also, there were far more ballots discarded in a republican county in north Florida and that ballot was even more confusing than the Palm Beach ballot.

You don't hear any people protesting that do you. That's because it's just as irrelevant as the Palm Beach ballot. Neither was illegal. The voters were confused, careless or just plain stupid. That has no bearing on the election validity.

You didn't hear the announcement following the manual recount did you. They read off about 30 examples of confused voting. People were voting for all of the candidates (all 10), every other candidate on the odd numbers, every other candidate on the even numbers, 3 of the 10 candidates, 4 of the 10 candidates, 5 of the 10 candidates, and so on and so on.

I really don't think you can claim the ballot had much to do with these idiotic ballot results.

Did you know that the democratic campaign manager (Daley) has the same ballot in his home county and they had a similar % of tossed out ballots? You don't hear much complaining about that do you?
