No: HPFGUIDX 5476


Just to complicate things, Florida law specifies that voters mark the space
to the right of the name of the candidate they want to vote for.
The space on the Palm Beach County ballot to mark for Buchanan was on the
*left* (and directly to the right of the Gore/Leiberman bit).  Jeff Liggio,
a lawyer for county Democrats, called the ballot illegal. "Right means
right, doesn't it? The state law says right, it doesn't mean left," he said.

Now, I'm not suggesting that Florida voters *knew* the law said "right" and
voted that way because of it. I'm saying that the ballot design may actually
have been illegal under Florida law. You can see the ballot at

3 people filed a lawsuit today, accusing the county of creating an illegal
ballot.
