"I went to the polls for one specific reason, to vote for Gore. I hit the second hole. I am sure I did. What was going on in my mind was somehow my right to vote had been taken away from me." 67-year-old Lillian Gaines, who has filed a lawsuit seeking a new election, claiming the ballots were "deceptive, misleading and confusing." (from CNN.com)

"I saw it with my own eyes. Hundreds of people left the ballot box and became hysterical in the parking lots when they realized they had probably voted for Pat Buchanan." Democratic Rep. Robert Wexler (CNN.com)

"I voted for a man I loathe. I realized after that I voted for the wrong person, but I thought I might be the only one." Helen Halperin, 81, Lake Worth, Fla. (foxnews.com)

And now, a voice of reason:
"I think it was clear and it needs to be pointed out that this ballot went through the Florida legal process. The Democrat supervisor of elections and both parties in Palm Beach County approved it. It was published in the newspaper and no one raised any complaints about this ballot before the election." Rep. Alcee Hastings, a Florida Democrat (foxnews.com)
