This cartoon characterizes the difficulties many citizen of Florida ran into when attempting to vote in the 2000 election. The main problem with the ballot in Florida was that the ballot was tilted and slanted so the wholes did not exactly match up with each candidate. As many as 19,000 voters realized they accidentally voted for Buchanan and attempted to correct this by punching an additional whole in the third whole for Al Gore, their candidate of choice. However, these ballots were inevitably thrown out and not counted during the recount and this lost Gore the election.
