AXO Alum,
Thanks for the correction. Like I said, I had heard that, but hey, I'm in West Virginia. That news had to travel and I know that we've all played that 'telephone' game before where you start a sentance and whisper it to your neighbor and when it ends up at the last person it's totally different than what was originally said. I always thought that if someone watches you vote, that your vote became void and that's why they had the dividers and curtains, but hey I'm obviously wrong. From what you said, it sounds like the voting process with the computers was just totally messed up. I did see the ballot on TV where people voted for Pat B. instead of Gore. It was kinda confusing. You really had to look at it. I thought it was because usually people read down one page first and then the next like a book. When they saw Gore's name and saw he was second, they automatically punched the second hole. Then skipped over the second page because they skimmed it and saw the two other candidates that they weren't going to vote for. So I can see how it could have been confusing or misread.
