I have also heard that there were not enough people to help those who had
questions (my dad said only the sheriff could do this, but I'm not
sure) and that many of these people were told that they had 5 minutes to
vote. Under those circumstances, I can understand why someone could
misunderstand. (Besides, alternating holes from one side of the page to
another just doesnt make *sense* ;)
(I'm not sure of the accuracy of these facts..think I heard them on the
radio)
