The ballots we used to use in Georgia were, IMO, ideal.
A broken arrow pointed to each candidate's name. You took a magic marker and connected the arrow for the candidate you were voting for. If you connected both arrows for one race, your vote was thrown out because it was assumed you were an idiot.
Those ballots worked very well, and I would like very much to return to them. I do not trust the computers.
We have to fill in a "bubble" now. Previously we had the "complete the arrow" too. The arrows are definitely better, I agree.
That's what we use here in Arizona and I LIKE it! Nobody can steal my vote - I have to mark it in with the black marker and then I get to walk my ballot over to the machine and enter it in myself! I don't trust anybody when it comes to voting instrumentation.
