For those that don’t want to read the wiki - the ballot led to consistent errors since the second button was for the top line on the right side instead of the second choice down the list: Gore.
This reminds me of the “programmers compete to make terrible volume control” meme
whats the messup im missing?

Election fraud allegations and bush “stealing” the presidency.
Ahh yes. Because the Brookes brothers riot just did itself.
2000 was a stolen election. No doubts about it.
Messup one is the alternating “butterfly” design on the ballot as shown in the image. It was deemed too confusing because the candidates aren’t listed in a single order.
Messup two is a hole punch was used to punch holes in the central area on the ballot, but it wasn’t very good at its job. The hole punch system left a bunch of ballots with only partially punched holes, and “hanging chads” where the punched out piece of paper is still attached and dangling. During the recounts the election board had to make a bunch of individual decisions on how to interpret these ballots.
What year is this from? The top left looks like it says November 7 2020? 2010? I didn"t think those candidates were running as late as then?
This is al Gore vs Bush. The election was in 2k
Needs a little more jpeg. The right side is clearer with a 0 in the threes digit. This is 2000.
