Actually the machines in the counties with a predominately white population were set so that if you made a mistake you could go and get another ballot. The machines in predominately black counties were set so that if there was a mistake the machine would take the ballot and it's votes would not be counted. So it is not the neolibs who are too dumb to use the butterfly ballot but the journalists who are too dumb to ask the right questions to get to the real truth. globalresearch.ca "I found another explanation while investigating the matter for BBC TV Newsnight out of London. The Leon County officials showed me that in their (white) county, if a voter made an error, the machine automatically returned the ballot and issued a new one for correction. However, if the black voters of Gadsden made a minor error -- a stray mark, a circle not an x -- their machine accepted the ballot, then voided it; the reject mechanisms were either missing or disabled. This was no surprise mistake -- Leon County election clerks told me that before the election, they set up example machines at their office across from the Governor's office, and his election chiefs thoroughly examined how the machines operated."
