All of the references to election law that the Democrats keep bringing up pertain only to written ballots. These were computer ballots, which fall under a completely different set of laws, laws deeming the Buchanan Ballot completely legal. It is the voter's duty to walk into the booth prepared and ready to vote. If you do not understand the ballot, it is your duty to ask someone to explain it. I have no compassion for people who fill the ballot out incorrectly.
Double voting is an interesting topic.
There are two schools of thought about double voting. Some people are hypothesizing many voters originally marked Buchanan, realized their mistake and then marked Gore. It's a shame they didn't ask the election workers for a new ballot, because a double punched ballot doesn't count, no questions asked. The second school of thought about double voting is that some people thought they were voting for Gore and Lieberman-two separate votes. If you don't understand we elect our president and vice president on the same ticket, then your vote shouldn't count.
