Gould,
The elderly in Palm Beach County explained to the news what the problem was.
A democrat was passing out cheat sheets to tell the elderly how to vote.
The cheat sheet had an error which caused the double votes.

The democrats controlled the election board in Palm Beach County, if we buy
into your paranoia, they did a **** poor job.

PS - . Where did you facts about the 2700 in the rest of the country?

No, but I've always had a tough time believing that 27,000 people- all
living
in the same county in Florida- were dumb enough to vote twice for POTUS
when
there probably weren't 2700 people in the entire rest of the country
combined
who made the same mistake.

Are Floridians just particularly stupid? And all the most especially
stupid
just happen to live in the same county? I think not.

In Duval, about 22,000 presidential ballots were uncounted because of
double
votes and 5,000 because no presidential vote was recorded.

That's the problem with a "punch card" ballot.

Don't like the way somebody voted?
Punch a second hole for a second candidate in the same race, after the
voter
leaves the building. Joila. No more "wrong" vote.

To save time, you can even pass out ballots with the hole for GWB
pre-punched.
The votes of folks who intend to vote for GWB aren't efffected, they
simply
push the stylus through an already existing hole.
The po' dumb folk who don't see the many advantages of a right wing
reactionary
in the WH? Thier votes for the wrong candidate are tossed out, "sorry,
two
holes punched for president."

Who knows.....but that is apparently is a tactic of the dem is Palm Beach
County......to spike the ballots .....read "Stealing Elections"

Are you asking if stupid people can congregate? Let's see how long it
takes for
Marion Barry to again get elected to mayor of DC.

Barry's best line: "The bitch set me up!" This was uttered a few times after
he was caught in a hotel room with a woman, not his wife, while he was
getting ready to snort a line of coke.
