'Rabbi Richard Yellin said that when it dawned on several of his congregants that they might have unwittingly voted for Buchanan, 'people started crying.' Buchanan's remarks about World War II and the Middle East have been criticized by many Jews as anti-Semitic.'... we're talking over 19,000 votes that have been disqualified... meaning gore won in reality, but who knows now. that must really feel awful, to know that your mistake has effected the entire country. basically i think after all this, bush will be the winner, legally. but isn't the law supposed to be an expression of the will of the people...?

p.s. florida used the same system in '96. they had aprox. 15,000 mistakes... add in a big voter increase and bingo: you have a disaster that's just been waiting to happen for the past 4 years.

p.p.s. buchanan was just on tv, he said the ballot was confusing and he doesn't feel right about taking gore's votes...
