And now for something different...Or maybe not. Try voting for everybody. Who knows what will happen. Maybe Gore will win finally? (not sure if this was posted before, but found it funny.)

To me, it just comes off as stupid, but I've said too much about this already. Any bush supporters here want to tell me why they think the ballot design was a good one?

I thought the link was very funny. I have a few other funny ballot links that I have not posted because I decided the time or funny ballot links was past. I am not a Bush supporter, but I voted on a similar ballot and I am sure I did not vote for anybody that I did not want to. The real question is, are there any Gore supporters that thought the design was a good one. I am guessing the Democrat that approved the design is one. The only one?

Bush supporter here. Whether the ballot design was usable, or not, the Bush campaign had absolutely nothing to do with it. If voters who used it have objections, they should sue the PBC elections board, and apparently some have. Matt, the comment to close your rant, "That's why I can never support a Bush FL state win." isn't very open-minded. Never doesn't allow much leeway. It's as if you blame candidate Bush himself for the design of that ballot.

I only blame Bush for thinking he's sewn up the state and won a real election, when we can all agree FL's vote was messed up on many, many levels.

Yes, it is definitely FUBAR. Imagine if there was no electoral college. The potential would exist for this mess in every precinct in America.
