Hm. Pretty graphs, though FWIW here's a tidbit I saw on Boortz' site.
He's seriously Libertarian, so that's something to keep in mind.

There's more. The Democrats are screaming that there is no way Buchanan
could have received this many votes in Palm Beach County. They cite the
fact that Broward County, immediately to the South, only saw around 100
votes for Buchanan vs. the 3,407 votes in Palm Beach. Well ---- here's
what you probably haven't heard in the media.

According to the Florida supervisor of elections, Broward County has only
189 members of the Independent Party -- Florida's Reform party. However,
in Palm Beach County there are well over 14,000 members of the
Independent Party. As a matter of fact, Palm Beach County has the highest
Independent registration in Florida.

Oops! Well that certainly puts things in a different light, doesn¹t it?

=== end quote ===

So, if this is correct, out of 14,000 registered "Reform Party" folks in
Palm Beach County it's not too far out of the question for about 3500 of
them to vote for Buchanan there... Curiouser & curiouser, and this whole
thing is likely to drag on for quite a while.
