But twice when I made a challenge it did not make it to the canvassing board. He described a ballot that was punched in both the 6 hole a Gore vote and in the 3 hole. Ivy Korman, he said, distributed an instruction sheet summarily awarding all such votes to Gore because there was no candidate for the 3 hole. When he challenged the double-punched ballot Poison Ivy came around and said, That s clearly a vote for Gore. Check the sheet.
Odd numbers don t count.
She then took the ballot from the box for challenged ballots and put it in the Gore pile. Later, Clark challenged a ballot that had six or seven names on the back written in pencil in cursive. Two of the names were crossed out in red ink, the rest in black ink. The ballot had a punch in the 6 hole for Gore. But Clark had been told Florida law disqualified ballots with markings on them.
