these kind of ballots are very common. In Oregon we have been voting on butterfly type for years.

OT: Not to clog up the thread, last post on it. But, Florida has used the ballot in the past, and had no problem with it. Bush, IMHO, would have one the popular vote, had it not been for the debacle caused by the media, by annoucing the Big 3 (Fla, MI, and Penn) were securely in Gore's corner. I know personally voters in Pensacola who didn't bother to vote, once they heard the news on Florida. You can bet that happened across the country as well. No one seems to be talking about that though. KM

I have never posted on SI before, but I want to thank you for expressing these sentiments. It's a matter of respect for our democracy. No one can claim victory at this point, until the alleged disenfranchisement of 20,000 voters in West Palm Beach County is addressed within the democratic process. Any of us, whether Republican or Democrat, if we felt our vote had been thrown away unfairly or registered unfairly in such a circumstance, would want justice. In addition, the world is watching to see that our process is carried out fairly, even if it causes discomfort. Also,in the end, would it really serve Governor Bush to claim a victory fraught with such lingering doubt? Linda
