Abstract: Much has been written about the November 2000 presidential election, and much has been made of the problems attributed to obsolete technology or poorly designed ballots like the infamous "butterfly ballot" of Palm Beach County.

I will briefly review some of the highlights of the election, and examine data from the election to see what we can infer about the voting errors attributable to voting technology and ballot layout.
