I think this cartoon shows how little understanding the American voters had of the events of the 2000 election. It was extremely confusing even for those actively following. In this case a voter is shown to think that Dangling Chad is the name of a person rather than a problem with ballots. It also in some ways shows how easily people forget the affect that Nader had on that election because there was so much emphasis on the recounts in Florida.

I think this comic might also be a slight attack on those who were blaming Nader for robbing the presidency, citing election defects as the real reason. Though it's also true that if Nader didn't run in FLA, Gore would most likely have won if those far left Nader votes came out to support the "more left than Bush" Gore ticket.
