Officials thought it would be easier for them to read bigger font. However, this made is so that the boxes did not match up, and they have reason to believe that voters marked the Buchanan box because it was near the Gore box. Yes, it's their (meaning the election officials in that county) own fault, but should a whole county worth of voters pay for the consequences? I don't think so.

People who complain afterwards suddenly--now that their candidate appears to be losing--should be held very suspect.

No, they should not be allowed to revote but, if the ballots were, in fact, wrong, I think they should not be used in the final count.

Where did literacy requirements come into play in this thread? I must have missed something.
