3. It's a typical type of ballot. People that can't figure it out should stay home. (nt)

4. We have them
I thought it was common sense. Regardless, there should be a big sign at the polling place so people get it. Unless these were absentee.

5. Many other states use these
The real problem here is we have had a different ballot every election cycle. Butterfly->Diebold->Optical (fill-in the arrow)

6. We used to have them, I missed it this year
it was so reassuring to connect the candidate directly to the office, there was no chance of mistake.

8. Palm Beach County has had problems every damn year.
Whether the SOS is a Rep or a Dem, they just can't seem to get it straight.
