Item Description
Each full color 3” button states “Authentic Palm Beach County ‘Butterfly Ballot’ Chad.” Under the celluloid covering of each is a tiny chad, a yellow paper with black center dot. These are authentic chads from the infamous “Palm Beach County Butterfly Ballot.” The Button with alligators dressed as Spirit of 1776 Minutemen is #16 of 100 made. The Bush/Gore jugate with butterfly design is also #16 of 100. This is a bonus as the buttons were originally sold individually so a matched set is extra rare. A neat commemorative containing two examples of the authentic “chad” that caused such historic turmoil and Bush’s 8 years in office. Back in 2000, the original price of a pair was $45. The 100 sets have long been sold out. Mint.
