That has not been stipulated. You invented that theory.

How come all 19000 *stupids* made same mistake.

They didn't. Some supposedly punched the wrong hole. Some punched more than one hole. Some others managed to create a "dimpled" or "pregnant" chad.

Leaving aside for the moment the fact that the ballot was designed by a Democrat, published ahead of the election, and wasn't challenged by anyone, any voter who was "confused" or too feeble to punch a hole in the ballot had every right to request assistance and/or a new ballot.

Are you suggesting *uniformity in stupidity*?

Stupidity is not uniform. It unfortunately afflicts persons of all colors, religions and genders.
