Perspective view of the infamous Florida butterfly ballot, reconstructed in 3-D from reproduction in Florida newspaper, to show how hard it is to identify which hole links to which name in 'real life', rather than the flat, shot from above way it is usually displayed.

Note in particular the second arrow from the top on the left side, in the section labeled 'Democrat', which appears to be pointing to the second hole from the top. Closer scrutiny reveals that punching that hole actually constitutes a vote for Pat Buchanan, an error which is believed to have been committed by many Florida voters in 2000.
