    Its almost as if the more important the test, the more idiotic they get with the answer sheets.

    The need to keep it as simple so that a FIVE YEAR OLD could fill out a ballot if needed.

    When I voted in Oklahoma in 2004 the ballot was similar. Next to the candidates name was a dash then a blank space then a dash. To vote, you had to connect the dashes to make a line.

    I'm glad to join the 21st century with electronic voting machines in Harris County.

    Buchanan '08!!!! Probably from the same report, 1/10 of voters screwed this up a month ago in a special election.

    Another Supreme Court decision that sets no precedent? Can we be so lucky?

    We still use antique Fiorello La Guardia-era voting machines in NYC, which work just fine, probably better than all your newfangled computer thingamajigs.

    and you believe everything i say? :eek: looking for a raised eyebrows emoticon.

    still, odd that there's virtually no hard data from PA, just exits and a small # of precincts.
