Q: Why were more errors like this made by Democrats than by Republicans?

A: The social characteristics of Florida Democrats. The two groups making the most errors were African Americans and seniors, who are core constituencies of the Florida Democratic Party. Seniors probably made errors because of weak eyesight and other physical limitations caused by aging. African Americans may have made errors because of the anxiety they are likely to feel at the polls, where in the not-very- distant past they would have routinely faced threats, violence, police harassment, and worse.

Pure bull. Stupid is as stupid votes.

You forgot two key points:
-Errors are easy to make when punching ballots in the dark trunk of your car.
-When attempting to ram the stylus through a stack of punch cards, invariably one ends up with "dimpled chads" due to insufficient, er, penetration.
