In most of these battle ground states, we have to wonder from what political party most of the key people and workers for the election process come from.

[CT CONSERVATIVE]

yes and do you believe in tooth fairys yoo?

[processing please hold]

I read that thread. If you punch the green arrow next to the Bush/Cheney name....you voted for Kerry/Edwards.

[processing please hold]

The Bush/Cheney vote is the red one.

[Mr. K]

GODDAMMIT ?!!! WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS IN THESE TOWNS?? DOENST ANYONE GET A CHANCE TO SEE THESE BALLOTS BEFORE THEY ARE PRINTED? HOW CAN THEY PLAY GAMES LIKE THIS???

HOW DO YOU VOTE FOR BUSH? THE 4 OR THE 14 (WHERE THE ARROW POINTS)

IF IT IS 4 THEN WHY IS THE ARROW POINTING AT 14 AND THE 14 COLORED GREEN?????

[MamaTexan]

When are we going to stop referring to them as the Democratic Party & start calling them what they really are?

A Criminal Enterprise!

Someone posted the ballot here or on Lucianne.com. It shows Kerry/Edwards with an arrow directing the voter to the proper area to be checked.

The Bush/Cheney voter, however, is directed by an arrow to the wrong area.

Probably an innocent mistake by a Dem too ignorant to understand the significance--or maybe not.

I've been voting since the early 70's, and I can't recall seeing a ballot where the incumbent was NOT the first one listed. Have you?

[bushfamfan]

IS BLACKWELL OR ANY OTHER GOP OFFICIAL DOING ANYTHING ABOUT CORRECTING THIS??

[RockinRight]

Blackwell's on it.

[pabianice]

Uh... because the OH absentee ballot puts a Bush vote in the wrong box?

No, I've never seen it otherwise either... The things that make you go, Hmmmmm....

IIRC, the spots on the ballot for the 2 major parties are often rotated from one election to the next.

Cuyahoga County ballot samples

Why aren't the candidates listed in the same order on all ballots? Bush/Cheney are listed first in some, Kerry/Edwards in others. In some cases, disqualified candidates are listed first.

Does this mean that a Bush/Cheney vote in one precinct may be punch hole 6, 10 in another and, possibly, 12 in yet another? If this is the case tallying votes correctly will be a nightmare.

Thanks for finding the links, appreciated

How is Blackwell on it?

[NeoCaveman]

I hope so. I voted for Bush, #4. Just like the instruction said.

Also my precinct's ballot is slightly different if only 14 counts for Bush then only 16 counts for Kerry in my precinct.
