I am writing about the butterfly ballots that were used in Palm Beach County, Florida during last week's election. All I am hearing from the media is that people are complaining about confusion concerning the butterfly voting ballots. These people claim they are too complicated to use. From what I understand, this ballot has been in use for a number of years in that county.

Why has it taken so long for people to complain now. Certainly, there were other races to be decided on this same ballot. Has anyone complained about those races such as the senate race?

If those people have concerns about the presidential race vote, then why haven't we heard about concerns about the other races on the very same ballot.
