What’s wrong with these people that they can’t make easily understood ballots?!?
Florida Democratic Party sues state over primary ballots
“Two years after the butterfly ballot and faulty voting machines kept the world waiting to learn who would become the next president, Florida has produced a ballot that is once again creating mayhem.”
Clinton throws has thrown his two cents into the blame game and denies responsibility for 90’s corporate fraud. Frankly, I don’t trust anyone in DC, Republican or Democrat. The old joke goes, "Q: How can you tell if a politician is lying? A: His mouth is moving."
Clinton Rips Bush on 90’s Fraud

The music labels’ trade organization, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), is unsympathetic.
Add this to the ridiculousness permitted by the DMCA.
