In addition to the dispute over hard to read ballots that may have caused some voters to accidentally vote for Buchanan, 19,000 votes were thrown out because some people had voted for two candidates!

Re: The electoral quagmire of Florida
What a mess is right! Florida needs to start over - hold another election with standardized ballots. Most people would turn out to vote again, and perhaps some who did not bother to vote before will do so now. I hope the powers-that-be will take a long, hard look at our out-dated method of voting. In a technologically advanced society such as ours each persons vote should be counted electronically. The will of the people should prevail.
Re: The electoral quagmire of Florida
Maybe there can be a new election in the counties where there are discrepancies, but that would be very hard to do.
Now the results from other states might be looked at again. This is building into a serious problem.
No matter who wins, half of the country didn't vote for him. Its going to make it very hard to govern effectively.
