I have watched CNN, and I have SEEN the ballots in question, and they are clearly marked with an arrow pointing from the candidate to the hole to be punched. Now I can see this is clearly a totally made-up, bogus issue. No matter how old or young you might be, or how poor your eyesight, if you cannot punch just ONE hole at the end of the arrow tip, then YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO DESERVE TO HAVE YOUR VOTE COUNTED. I am sick of Jesse Jackson and all the Democrats whining and protesting about how they were confused, or how the ballots discriminated against the disabled (poor eyesight is the supposed disability, yet they've got people in wheelchairs on the streets for some reason - I guess bad eyesight makes your legs quit working) - now they're saying that there were supposedly police checkouts stopping people around the polling places for no reason. And do you know WHY they were stopping people for no reason? You guessed it - to intimidate them from voting for Gore. And just how do they know that indtimidation was the reason for these supposed stops? Yep, you're getting the hang of it - because blacks were disproportinally stopped. Excuse me while I puke. SHUT THE HELL UP AND ACCEPT THE FACT YOU LOST, YOU WHINING MORON SORE LOSER DEMOCRATS!! Needed to be said. (and yes, I realize the Democrats that I'm speaking to are not here to hear me).
By the way, if you are a bona fide, legally blind person, there is a procedure in place for getting a special ballot, I'm quite sure.
