TLC, the poor statistician testified that the pattern of voting in the 1998 Palm Beach election supported Gore's argument that there is a significant undervote for the races in the first row of holes on the punch card ballots. He said that the first row in the 1998 election was for one of the US Senators and the second row was for the governor, and there were significantly more votes for the governor than for the Senator, and that meant that significantly fewer people were punching out chads on the first row, which was consistent with Gore's argument that there was something wrong with the machines. Unfortunately, the Senatorial race and the Governor's race were both on the first row, one at the top, one at the bottom. The guy was blown out of the water, and didn't get a chance to rehabilitate himself.
