Palm Beach County, Fla., created the controversial "butterfly ballot" in the 2000

Not true. The "butterfly ballot" had been used in numerous counties for many elections before Florida in 2000. It's just that some Florida voters were too dumb to figure out how to mark their votes on it.

My most embarrassing ballot moment was once when I forgot to turn the ballot over and fill out the backside.

Just plain stupid of me, and I didn't try to blame it on anyone else.

The multiple choice questions require only one circle to be darkened on the sheet, but other questions require darkening digits of an actual numerical answer, apparently bewildering students into darkening too many or too few circles.

So the standardized test not only challenges rote learning, but also simple problem solving.

Those who lacked common sense were bewildered and did poorly.

The system works.
