33 girl,

I respect your comments but at the same time, if you feel you are doing the right thing, then who can fault you for that? When they showed a copy of the ballot on television, it is clear that it is very confusing to have the punch marks in the middle. According to reports, Florida law requires that the choices be on the right, not the middle. If the shoe was on the other foot and this was a Bush problem, I would say the same thing. I think that people THOUGHT they were okay in voting for Gore but then, realized the discrepancy with the ballot. Personally, I think the entire nation should use the same kind of voting machines. I have voted in two different states in 96 and just 2 days ago and both times, they were electronic voting machines where you pull the lever or press a button and it's over. This archaic system of punching holes and using cardboard is SOOOOOOO outdated. And this electoral college thing has to go as well. The people elected Al Gore, fair and square. If the people had elected George Bush (and I'm talking about the popular vote), I would say the same thing.

This whole election, whatever the outcome, has really tarnished my already bad image of America, land of democracy, home of the free...

yeah, riiiiiiiiiiggght.
