Palm Beach County, Fla., created the controversial "butterfly ballot" in the 2000

Not true. The "butterfly ballot" had been used in numerous counties for many elections before Florida in 2000. It's just that some Florida voters were too dumb to figure out how to mark their votes on it.

IMHO, the basic problem is called Reading Comprehension....or, in this case, the failure by these same school officials to bother teaching the subject.

This is just another case of the libs' eternal search for victimhood: We can't expect them to admit that they as well as their students are failing without hearing a tale about the deus ex machina that ate all their homework as a cover story.

Or, possibly that a bunch of lying Democrats saw a chance to turn actual Buchanan votes into Gore votes. Who can prove differently?
