For the sake of my blood pressure, I’m trying to cut back on my time on FR. Recent events haven’t exactly brought out the best in some of us, including yours truly. However, what I said about how things are done in my county is both true and accurate. I can’t address the issue of potential lawsuits, since I don’t know of any cases where a person’s vote has been used against him. Your mileage may vary.
Sorry if I've elevated it during this exchange. We are on the same side after all. I must say this though. When someone puts an initial on ballot that I am OK to vote, I really have no idea what it means. The barcode sticker on your ballot is likely to be benign, but if you have concerns you should ask your election commission.
