Oh, sweet justice.

The county election supervisor whose confusing ballot design contributed to the turmoil of the 2000 presidential election became the butt of late-night talk show jokes and the target of death threats. Now, she's lost her job.

Theresa LePore, the inventor of the butterfly ballot that was scrutinized during the presidential recount, lost her re-election bid to remain Palm Beach County elections supervisor.

With all 692 precincts reporting, challenger Arthur Anderson had 91,134 votes, or 52 percent, while LePore had 85,601 votes, or 48 percent.

In other news, it's day three of the RNC, and I've stuck by my pledge not to watch any of the coverage (though I hear that it is craptacular). Though I saw that Ahhnold said that people who are pessimistic about the economy are "economic girlie men." Which side of compassionate conservativism is that? Man oh man. That's just so wrong on so many levels.
