2000 Florida Ballots to be Discarded.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Unused butterfly ballots left over from the 2000 presidential election are not public records and can be destroyed, a state appeals court has ruled.
The historical value alone should be enough to keep these ballots for generations to come. The differences in these ballots from the other ballots all across Florida represent the absurdity of the election and the years that have thus far followed. They are, however, equated with "blank pieces of paper."
