An intelligence test would be too hard to implement in my opinion. One would hope the candidates would be confined to demonstrating their intelligence to deserve votes from everybody.

In democracy, there are rules which are made up by elected lawmakers. One of those rules states that spoiled ballot papers are not valid. It is not right to change the democratically arrived at rules when one has decided an election has not gone their way. Why did the democrats not change this "confusing" voting slip before the election?

<<The specific design surely did not allow judicious reflection of the "will of the people".>>

EXACTLY!!!

That should be the test.
5% of the votes in that county were spoiled.
What % was spoiled in the rest of the state.

If it becomes aparent that the one county with the different ballot has an unusually large % of spoiled votes then it should absolutely be clear to everyone that justice is not served by throwing them out and calling a winner.

Bush should do the honerable thing and concede.
He will not.
