Re: "Later Thursday it was discovered that more than 19,000 ballots cast in Palm Beach County had more than one vote for president, causing them to be nullified. Only 3,783 ballots cast in the U.S. Senate race had the same mistake, according to unofficial returns" The double voting demonstrates that many people tried to correct the error of a mistaken vote for Buchanan. Some people reported asking for a new ballot. Others reported that they thought, wrongly, the "correction" was adequate to correct their vote. Further evidence that the Palm Beach ballot did not allow many voters a fair opportunity to register their vote.
