Oh Fugg - not Palm Beach again

[malaise]

Absentee ballot problem again. Here come the lawyers.

[Auggie]

1. "Florida" is for "fuck-up"

[pokerfan]

2. WTF is up with their weird ballots?

Fill in the space between two boxes to create an arrow pointing to the chosen candidate?

:wtf:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

6. It looks more like an IQ test than a ballot. Fucking with the seniors again.

[pokerfan]

8. So if you check (or fill in) the box next to your candidate...

it's incomplete????

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. Yes. You have to connect the arrows that point at the candidate. That is seriously fucked up.

12. That's the way our ballots are here in Michigan.

It's not as easy as filling in an oval or circle, but it's pretty clear on ours, I think.

[Raksha]

13. That's how we do in my CA district.

We vote on paper ballots, but the arrow doesn't point to the chosen candidate. There are two arrow points, pointing in opposite directions, with a space between them. We make our choice by connecting the arrow points, filling in the gap and turning the broken line into a solid line.

3. Unfrigging believable.

:banghead:

[Trekologer]

4. Why can't Florida make a simple ballot?

Why must it be that hard?

5. Most of the rest of the state is OK

7. sad...but FL is not that important this time around

[Minnesota_Lib]

9. I just saw the ballot on MSNBCC. WTF! It.'s like a lame connect-the-dots puzzle. OMG!

It is clearly designed to confuse voters. How the fuck can this happen after 2000?

Jesus Christ, will no one ever learn?

10. My county was easy

I used to live in Palm Beach county when I first moved down here from NY.

My county was easy. Fill in the little bubble. They actually made you do it as you were checking in, fill in the bubble next to your name.

I cannot believe that this is happening again.
