REthey can't use the ballots, you morons created that way "You Morons"? Excuse me but those ballots were designed by Democrats in a county that is owned by democrats. The local election was run by Democrats. Broward county was averaging 16,000 invalid ballots per-election for many previous elections. many times the state average. You'd think that at least one of the democrats running the county would have determined that there was a problem. I feel for the 19,000 people (in Broward county alone) whose votes were not counted. However, election tallies must be done using objective criteria. Having three people inspect each card and try to determine the "voter's intent" is absurd. Thus overvotes cannot and will not be counted. And there is no need to kill all those evil over-voters. The next national election should have new systems that do not allow overvotes. My sister voted in Pensacola, FL, and there, you fillout a scan card, but the reader won;t accept it if there is an overvote. Hence, EScambia county had very small number if invalid ballots (of course, EScambia is predominately Republican) The election was a statistical tie. Even the national popular vote was below the margin of error of punch card ballots. Several states were won/lost by > .01% of votes (New Mexico, Iowa, etc.). In every one of these states, overvotes could have lost the election.
