I had to insert my ballot three times before it was finally read.

The ballot was the type that required an oval to be darkened out. It was rejected twice. I took the ballot out and looked for wrinkles or smudges and it looked OK. Ran it through arranged the same way every time. A poll worker saw it but the only advice was to try it again. Made me wonder if that had been happening a lot. This was just a local election, so the stakes weren't real high.
