the washington times agree with you.

taken from an article by Frank J. Murray titled, "Existed laws block ordering 
new vote"
"The voters' claim centers on use of so-called "butterfly ballots," small 
books whose pages turn as voters record choices on a punch card.   Butterfly 
ballots have long been used without challenge, but the lawsuit charges no 
Florida county ever before listed presidential candidates on facing pages 
rather than in a column on one page.  County Supervisor of ELections Theresa 
LePore, herself a democrat, said a second page was needed to accommodate some 
candidates' names because she had them printed in larger type to help the 
many elderly voters among whom Mr. Gore is popular."
