Broward County was a main county that ginned up the year 2000 election controversy, complaining about the butterfly ballot that so confused them.

Yes, who could ever forget the butterfly ballot?

Remember the dangling chads that year? What I read was that those type of ballots are easy to commit voter fraud.

All a person has to do is run a stout skewer type implement through a stack - in the space for your candidate-lets say a dem.

If the person voted for dem, it has no impact. If the person voted for Rep. then the ballot is spoiled with two votes and will be discarded.

They just have to be able to do that without someone else who would object seeing it.

I think that was Palm Beach County to the north.
