Election ballot glitches spark national debate

The piece notes recurring election complaint trends in the United States and highlights the Palm Beach County ballot design in 2000 as a pivotal case. It cites Gary McIntosh of the National Association of State Election Directors and describes issues from ballot misidentification to machine malfunctions and absentee counting. It references Democrats' reaction to 1996 Washington state and 1998 Florida ballot problems and quotes Democratic election lawyer Frederic Wooder.

Paper Ballots and Hand Counted Results Describe Voting

Voters mark boxes next to their chosen candidate on paper ballots and election officials count the results by hand to determine winners. The system emphasizes manual tallying rather than machine counting.

Lowans for Nader reject blame for Gore showing

In the 2000 election aftermath Iowa backers of Ralph Nader defend the third party vote as not harming Gore. They argue Gore’s loss stems from Democratic failures and poll data show many Nader voters would not have backed Gore. Iowa Green Party coordinator David Larson notes many would have abstained without Nader.
