| The 2000 presidential election and the now-infamous butterfly ballot fiasco in Palm Beach County, Fl, put ballot design on newspapers' front pages. There have been many questions brought up about the fairness/effectiveness of the U.S. system of ballots, polls and the electoral college. A study carried out by USA Today and seven other newspapers in 2001 concluded that faulty design, not punch-card machines, was responsible for voters' confusion in Palm Beach County in 2000. Despite this finding, states have focused their election-reform energies on upgrading old punch-card machines to optical-scan systems or on implementing electronic voting. They have dismissed or ignored the butterfly layout's problematic design as an aberration. | |||||
