David, you're missing the point: like it or not, some people did not/do not get it right. Jimmy C is right- it makes no sense not to have given it a trial run.

This study by Dr. Richard C. Sinclair at the University of Alberta is to be published next week. The experiment involved 116 men and women test subjects. Half voted on the butterfly ballot and half on a straight, single column ballot. There were no errors among voters using the single column ballot. Among the 15 people who meant to vote for the "Gore" position, 3 of them instead voted for the "Buchanan" position.

Quote: About 462,350 presidential ballots were cast in Palm Beach County. A 20 % error rate would amount to about 92,470 votes. Enquote

Uncle Jacque- lots of people are "senile".
