Interesting from the point of view of cocktail party conversation. Does not change anything though since: 1.Everybody had sample ballots that they could have spent a couple weeks on AND if fact, brought a filled out sample ballot into the voting booth with them. 2. If you screw up a ballot, all you have to do is ask an attendent for a new one. 3. Ballot approved by both parties 4. "Butterfly" ballot used elsewhere, therefore it has legal precedence. 5 - Do the people who are so brain dead that they can't vote properly need somebody to feed them and wipe their tushies when they poop, too?

It seems they use the butterfly ballot in Cook County (Chicago), Illinois. They had a throw out rate of 6%. If Gore and especially Daley have an ounce of integrity why are they not there fighting for those people who's ballots were not counted? Daley said today, "It is not about politics. It is about getting the vote of these people counted." What in the hell is he doing letting his home town people down and not fighting for them? I know the answer, he is, as are most if not all of the Gore people, a LIAR! Their word means absolutely nothing. You are seeing a masterful attempt to steal an election by people with no character. And, that includes Christopher.
