In a race where many people were disenchanted with the front of
the major party tickets, the possibility of an unusually large number of such intentional
blanks cannot be discounted........

OK a large number. He figured it that way too.

But Stephen Doig, a professor at Arizona State University who crunched the numbers for The Herald,
defended the analysis. For example, he said, even if the analysis were adjusted to include the remote
possibility that 90 percent of voters whose ballots were discarded actually intended to skip the race,
the margin still would make a decisive difference for Gore -- about 1,400 votes.
