Numbers *mean* something. (Score 1)

From looking at the numbers for PBC, it is patently obvious that much, much less than "99.999% of the population" understood the ballot. Buchanan was running nearly 4 times his statewide percentage in a liberal district. That alone should raise some significant eyebrows. It's *real* easy to look at the ballot and say 'haw, that's not tricky at all, anybody with a brain could have figured it out.' Don't forget, you've been warned. You already know that those ballots are potentially confusing; you're looking back from a position of perfect hindsight. The numbers tell the story here, folks. And the story is that an inferior user interface is about to shunt George W. Bush into our land's most exalted office.
