...shapes and sizes and affect files in any number of different ways. There are viruses that are called when the computer boots up each time and viruses that specifically attack certain programs like Microsoft Word. There are viruses for Macintoshes, Windows and Unix machines, as well as viruses for Palm Pilots and other hand-held computers.

The morning after the election, Democratic outrage was focused on Palm Beach County and its controversial "butterfly ballot." Palm Beach voters have filed more than a dozen lawsuits challenging the ballot's legality. The plaintiffs and Democratic volunteers have collected thousands of affidavits from voters who say they were confused into miscasting their votes, and they have collected statistical evidence arguing that when thousands of ballots were discarded, rejected or mistakenly cast for Buchanan, Gore lost some...
