that butterfly ballot in Palm County...those misplaced Pat Buchanan votes were probably important.

I actually remember voting punch cards back in the day with a similar design (not in FL). I could see how some folks could have been confused. And this was self inflicted since I think Palm County, FL was democratic at that time.

I consider the whole sorry mess an example never to believe someone who says your one vote won't make a difference or a better example of the butterfly effect. Never needed that argument because I had a great High School civics teacher who inspired me to vote in nearly every election I qualified for over the years.
