This means that it wasn't a Republican conspiracy to trick geezers into voting Buchanan. Dave, I agree.....and I don't think that's the issue. The issue is....were the ballots confusing...apparently they were to 19k voters. ted

David, Re: "Because the Buchanan punch-out hole is on the line between Republican and Democrat space, this must mean that disputed Buchanan votes must be divided equally between Bush and Gore. A confused Republican voter is just as likely to punch out the Buchanan hole as a confused Democrat voter would. This fact is indisputable unless Democrats are more confused than Republicans." Perhaps true -- but Palm County voted 5:3 for Gore so the lost votes for Gore would have been greater. This county seems to have a history of voting errors based on reports of rejected ballots in prior elections. foxnews.com -PT
