The
Palm Beach County US Presidential Election ballot paper that
has the world in a spin.
During voting on Tuesday 19,000 voters in Palm Beach County Florida voted for both Al Gore and Pat Buchanan. There votes were later discarded by electoral supervisors.
It appears clear - and even Pat
Buchanan has acknowledged - that had this ballot paper been
less confusing then Vice President Al Gore would have won
the State of Florida and therefore the US
Election.
