Re: CHAT (POLITICS!!!): Putting the duh in Florida

Right after election day, the news here reported about one place in
Florida where some people were allegedly given ballots prepunched for
Bush.

(People who spotted it were given clean ballots, but the presumption
was that many Gore voters didn't, and that their ballots would then
have been rejected for double punches. (And the Bush voters' ballots
would only have one, of course). The report also said that that county
had unusually many void ballots).

And nothing more was heard, at least here --- so what happened? I'd
have thought the Democrats would be trying to get some Bush supported
convicted for voting fraud, if that might turn opinion against him.
