CDR: geezers and ballots
If you look at http://cnews.tribune.com/news/image/0,1119,oso-nation-82373,00.html you see the gripe about the Palm Beach ballots. What they dont mention is that, by the same visual-illiteracy that lets Gore votes go to Buchanan, votes for Browne go to Gore. There is far more difference between Browne Gore than between Gore Buchanan. The libs ought to be furious.

I think that you find that the Libertarians are smart enough to figure out a ballot and vote for the candidate that they want. Unfortunatly the same can't be said for the liberals. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.

At least with the current vote totals on the sfgate.com page, Buchanan narrowly beat Browne (about 10% on about 400,000 votes). This isn't enough to swing that, but it's frustratingly close. Thanks! Bill Bill Stewart, bill.stewart@pobox.com PGP Fingerprint D454 E202 CBC8 40BF 3C85 B884 0ABE 4639

The same error would send Browne votes to the Socialist candidate. The hole for Buchanan/Foster is immediately to the right of the word "Democratic" (or the line just above it). The hole for McReynolds/Hollis is immediately to the right of the word "Libertarian" Ken Brown
