Do you really think having dimwits vote improves the quality of elections? This is where I and "get everyone to vote" drives part company. If you haven't already determined to vote (and paid enough attention to understand what is going on), then, well, maybe you should stay home and not cancel the vote of someone who does.

handing the election to Gore. >>
I have seen many reports that those were spoiled ballots were that were replaced by new ballots.

To those people who said that they had mispunched on the butterfly ballot.....how can you remember what hole you punched out? If you say you that you can remember it, will you bet your life on it? I know that I can never be that certain. As for them also not knowing of anyone who voted for Buchanan, what if those voters are closet Buchanans?
