I know I'm stating the obvious, but that entire punched-the-wrong-chad fiasco was entirely manufactured. Who goes home and says "I think I accidentally voted for X."? Especially, after the entire ballot was tested, months in advance.

that entire punched-the-wrong-chad fiasco

You are correct. I live in Illinois and we still use the punch card, with no problems, and no chad problems either. I believe the democrats cannot read. the SC did not give Bush the presidency, They sent the matter back to the Florida supremes, and prevented them from rewriting the Florida law to fit their needs.
