"except for the ballot problem in palm beach county...which is almost certainly true."

Emphatic no! Approximately 10000 palm cards were printed that had voting instructions that told the people to punch number 3 for Gore. They did not realize their mistake till midday and tried to correct at precincts with new cards and verbal warnings...

The third hole (labeled #5 for Gore) was the intention, but as we all know now - The #3 was pointing at Bush (first hole)... Sad story, but definitely voter error/stupidity and one that can only have happened to a small (in more ways than one) group...

It's a shame that Gore might be ending his political career. I think he would make a great motivator to get the Republican vote out. They could shout "Remember Al Gore" the way Texans say "Remember the Alamo".
