Try this one on for size


In 2000, a man lives in Florida and receives one ballot on voting day. He only votes for Gore on this ballot. However, when he submits his ballot, he ends up voting for both Bush and Gore. There was only one ballot submitted, there were no hanging chad errors, he only voted for president and there were no write-ins of any sort. How is this possible?
I'VE GOT IT!

His friend named Gore didn't vote, but he voted for his friend who couldn't vote named Gore. His friend named Gore would have voted for Bush, so Man A votes for Bush for Gore.

Alternatively: the man's name is Gore.

Pretty much wrote exactly that.

Oh. Both parts of it?
