If they _did_ ask "hey, this is confusing, how do I vote for Gore?" at the polling place, and the poll workers told them what to do and voided their ballots anyway, then they've got a cause of action. If they didn't complain, it's much harder to argue.

Who says they didn't? These spoiled ballots don't imply that the voters who created them didn't ask for and receive new ballots. That's a different total and one which I have not seen in the media? steve
