Although I myself am too young to vote, I had a chance to look at the ballot yesterday and I must say that it was, at the very least, a bit confusing. The sad thing is that this may actually cost Gore the election: the number you mentioned, 1000, is actually far too low. Estimates here put it closer to 3000 or 3500, mainly from seniors who are known as ardent Gore supporters. 3500 is greater than both the Bush advantage and his likely win in the overseas absentee ballot combined. That's right: the entire election of leading nation of the free world rests on the ignorant design of the ballots and fading eyesight of the voting public. God, I hope they change it, and god bless America.
