In all the controversy surrounding the 2000 election, the greatest source of anger and frustration among the public was the revelation that not everyone’s vote was counted. A study produced by MIT and CalTech estimated that between 4 and 6 million voters did not have their vote for president counted in 2000. 1.5 million of those were people who intended to cast a vote for president and had their votes tossed aside because the ballot was read as unmarked, spoiled, or unclear. |
