``Gore would likely have won if all overvote ballots had been properly marked,'' said Anthony Salvanto, a political scientist at the University of California-Irvine who assisted the news organizations on the study. He said people who cast overvotes were clearly confused by the presidential portion of the Florida ballot and had few problems casting votes in other races. The paper said voters were confused by a long list of minority-party presidential candidates on the ballot. USA Today said only 6 percent of those who overvoted in the presidential race made the same mistake in the Senate race, which was next on the ballot. He concluded that the leading causes of overvotes in Florida were ballot design and ballot wording. USA Today said Florida's controversial ``butterfly'' ballot was a key problem for many voters. The ballot put candidates' names on facing pages with punch holes in the middle. The alignment confused some voters, who punched holes for candidates they did not intend to choose. Scumbria
