For those that don't want to read the wiki - the ballot led to consistent errors since the second button was for the top line on the right side instead of the second choice down the list: Gore.

But it's weird to me that there's no 1 or 2 (if I can say such a thing without being laughed at again for not knowing the context of a historical foreign election 😔)
