There was some speculation on this thread a while ago that the high percentage of overvotes in Palm Beach (4.2%) was caused by Democrats fraudulently double-punching Bush votes to invalidate them. The Palm Beach Post's count of the Palm Beach overvote should put that idea down once and for all. The overvote was caused by bad ballot design confusing some voters into voting for Buchanan or McReynolds by mistake and then trying to "correct" their vote, combined with some voters who couldn't figure out how to vote at all. Far from showing many Bush-Gore overvotes, as the fraud claim implied, the largest number of overvotes where two candidates are selected are for Gore-Buchanan or Gore-McReynolds. Gore-Bush overvotes: 5330 Gore-McReynolds overvotes: 2908 Bush-Gore overvotes: 382 gopbi.com
