Cleanup/major shortening
Okay, it's a huge edit (and a lot of deleting), so here's a quick summary:


 * Two images were broken and removed.
 * I'm not exactly sure what a "machine shortage" is: a shortage of votes? A shortage of machines? If someone could clarify, that would be great.
 * Blank sections were removed; the rest of it was condensed into a single article.
 * Several links were taken out as they are no longer valid.
 * There are two blatant copyright violations that have been commented out.
 * "No real explanation has been given" is in the wrong tense; a more pressing problem is the use of "real" explanation, which is evidently meant to contrast with "phony" explanation.
 * There can be absolutely no source for the statement that "in all cases, the overvotes are heavily in George W. Bush's favor".
 * I removed the template about Florida elections, although I wouldn't object too much if someone put it back in. My rationale is that this article does not discuss an actual election, but merely alleged irregularities in one.
 * I scrapped the table. It was starting to become an indiscriminate collection of information; an entire table is not needed to get to the point, which is the total number of overvotes.

I think the article may now be ready for merging. I slapped a POV tag on it just in case, anyways -- it could probably still be considered a mess. theProject 04:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
