This is all so darned stupid--there's a reason illegal votes are determined to be illegal--because it can't be determined who the voter voted for. Someone should start writing stories about how Bush wins Florida in a landslide if one counts all the votes that were for him that were then invalidated by a double-punched ballot. But we'll never hear THAT in the mainstream press...
It's really rather frightening, IMO, to see that fraud perpetrated by the libs will be silenced by the press and the truth will then be hidden from the people.... The idea of a "free press" is only an illusion, and it's a bit scarey if you ask me....

Incredibly, CNN did just that. They said, "In addition to undervotes, thousands of ballots in the Florida presidential election were invalidated because they had too many marks. This happened, for example, when a voter correctly marked a candidate and also wrote in that candidate's name. The consortium looked at what might have happened if a statewide recount had included these overvotes as well and found that Gore would have had a margin of fewer than 200 votes. ...However, the double votes on both butterfly and caterpillar ballots were clearly invalid under any interpretation of the law."
