How do any of those people know their vote was stolen from them? If they know they punched the wrong hole, all they had to do was ask for a new ballot. If they knowingly submitted a defective ballot, what are the grounds for complaint?

Not so simple...except for you perhaps.

Some did ask for a second ballot and were refused. (Violates election law?) Many asked for help and clarification from the election judges and didn't recieve it...Shall I go on?

The depositions should be intereisting.

< If they know they punched the wrong hole, all they had to do was ask for a new ballot.>

On the NPR story I heard yesterday they interviewed a woman voting for the first time who was despondent because she had voted Buchanan in the confusion... realized she may have voted incorrectly... took it to the 'pole lady' who told here no, too bad, you can't change it and took the ballot.

Personally I thought it was more than a little irresponsible to run the story based on one anecdote.
