We are in the middle of what could be a huge voting problem in Florida. If you are voting in Florida, or have yet to vote, check this out:
The layout of the holes in the ballot is set up so that if you are not careful, you could try to vote for Gore and end up voting for Pat Buchanan!!!
The layout of the ballot is a 2-page spread with the holes to punch running down the center. The Republican party is listed 1st, so Bush has nothing to be concerned aboutbecause he is the top hole. Gore is listed under Bush on the left side, but over on the right side is Pat Buchanan. So, those who plan to vote for Gore need to make sure that they punch the 3rd hole, not the 2nd.
All kidding aside, folks...it looks like Bush might take Florida because people are not looking at the ballot closely enough!
So be careful!
I will be EXTREMELY interested in seeing how many votes Buchanan gets in Florida...this is scary.
UPDATE
If you experienced difficulty voting yesterday, Florida State Attorney
Bob Butterworth is accepting written complaints describing your
situation. His FAX number is: 954-712-4657. Please keep submittals
