According to the latest results, Bush leads with ~1,700 votes in all of Florida. At least 50% of the whole group of Buchanan voters would have to have voted in error for this to affect the outcome of the recount. Do you really think over half of them made an error on a ballot that has arrows *pointing exactly* to which circle you are supposed to fill in? Besides, a Democratic Supervisor *signed off* on the ballot that she felt it was not misleading or ill-designed. A revote would be entirely out of the question. -Stephen P.S.- we do not live in a democracy. The US is a constitutional republic.
