Scumbria,

hard time making a case that these were an after effect

I don't think I tried to made any such case. All I pointed out was a link to an article about a Democrat get-out-the-vote telephone campaign switching gears to convincing voters that they had probably screwed up their ballots and to make a stink about it.

I had wondered how befuddled voters who couldn't manage to correctly punch out holes (when it has been shown that 4th graders can do it unerringly) or to ask for help with a new ballot miraculously managed to have the clarity of thought to be so sure that they had goofed. More specifically I wondered how the idea that they had goofed was planted into their heads by outside forces so fast (the day of the election)! The article explains all.
