Indeed, the first choice for the voters is below the BALLOT INSTRUCTIONS in the left column. Clearly, the format is intended to be read left-to-right, column-style (like a Scantron test answer sheet, for example).
My ballot in north Texas looked very similar. I had no problem finding all the candidates and marking the ballot as I wished. These people really don't care how stupid they look, as long as they can stir up trouble.
Yep. And in all the trials with thousands of elementary school kids, none made the alleged mistake.
I don’t see anything wrong with the ballot either.
But people are soooooo stupid.
Early votes have to be stored. At that point anything can happen. In the Fla and Az early voting Reps were up for the first time in forever. How has that worked out. NY does not have early voting. Why is it necessary? Additionally, early voting results in votes people might want back. If you vote for X on Oct 5 and on Oct 23 it is revealed he lied about his military service, you are stuck with that vote. If there is genuine need to be away or unavailable on election day then that is what absentee ballots are for.
And actually Dems should be also be opposed. Early voting was rare in 2000. Had there been then W likely wins without any argument as he was up 5 points in the polls and then six days before election his DWI hits the headlines.
Boy i’ve been around for 20 years and don’t remember seeing your name.
Hi :)
And yeah COME ON, I imagined it SO MUCH worse.
They blew it by posting it.
You’re right.
And like someone else said, how did it NOT disenfranchise R voters?
Are they saying R voters are smarter?
Are they saying they KNEW how those people who didn’t get it were gonna vote?
Too stupid.
What kind of GD idiot would forget about one of the two most important races on the ballot? Answer: Someone who should not be allowed to vote in the first place.
LOL!!! I see your imagination ran wilder than mine!! My husband isn’t going to believe it, haaa!
:)
That is not a “weird placement”.
There are 3 columns. YOu go down the first column, then you go down the second column, then you go down the 3rd column.
Why would anybody think to start in the second column, and why woudl they be surprised to find there was stuff in teh first column?
I mean, I understand how ill-informed, ignorant voters obviously MADE this mistake.
But nobody should suggest that this is a “butterfly ballot” type of thing.
Excellent point
Doesn’t look that confusing to me.
‘Another point is that, are they saying the GOP voters could find that box, but the Dem voters could not?’
no, he’s merely commenting on the discrepancy in the number of votes in Broward for governor compared to US senator; a fair point, as one would expect a politically aware individual to vote on both of these high profile positions...but they didn’t...
It will be delicious when Rick Scott finally is declared the winner and Brenda Snipes merry band of incompetents helped.
