Those ballots do exactly what they should do. They weigh the vote in accordance with the voter intelligence.
All my life it seems I’ve been filling in the bubble with the #2 pencil. What can be so hard about that?
Why I ask you do we need “designer ballots”? The other question is if you’re to dumb to figure out how to fill in the bubble next to the name of the candidate of your choice, maybe you shouldn’t be voting in the first place, ya think?
What happened to Keep It Simple Stupid???
Ric, you keep forgetting that Dummycraps are “liberal” and consider themselves part of the “intelligentsia elite” of professors, artists, authors, actors, etc. who think with the artistic side of the brain.
Therefore they must come up with artful ways of allowing people to vote. It does not matter that the ballots are stupid. it deos not matter they are impractical.
Again, these are “feeling” people, always alert to your sensitivity. So having something that “feels” and “looks” good trumps all other concerns.
Yes Vilmar you have a point there, however…
If they’re so damn smart why is it they seem to do this to there own voters? I don’t see the Republicans, Libertarians or Independents complaining about not figuring out the ballots.
Maybe I’m trying too hard to understand these moonbats.....
"Will County” Illinois voters are pretty dumb too.
Ric, we USE those scan tron thingies. Pretty simple-right. WRONG. We-election judges-are REQUIRED to demonstrate for the voters how to “darken the oval”, we’re REQUIRED to wear stickers saying same, AND there are signs in the voting booths demonstrating how to do it. We also have reminders to “turn the ballot over for more races.” If you over vote, the ballot box machine, the ballot box spits it back at you and say’s what you did wrong-in “Cook” county it tells under-votes too-and yet they STILL complain. People all but expect to have the govt. vote FOR them! Whatever happened to personal responsibilty?

I gotta laugh, I bet you still have folks who screw it up.
Actually I should cry, when you register for classes at UF (not considered to be an easy A university with very competative entry standards) they have to do the same thing with the scantron sheets for these higher than normal IQ end users.
Kinda like when I was in the Army “I’m going to tell you what I’m going to tell you, I will tell you, then I will show you, then you will try it and I’ll tell you what we just did, do you understand?” “No Sargent...”
My ex-brother-in-law who works in admissions at UF reports even so they still have a 20% screw up rate. He should know he’d their nerd in residence. They have also tryed many systems and went back to the scantron because it was the most reliable.
Hey Vilmar, that’s not far to the dogs. The dogs are probably telling he what needs to be done but she is too stupid to comprehend. I can’t believe people are so stupid they can’t figure out how to vote. I bet though they figured out how to apply for their social security or welfare checks.
Odd, my county in Virginia went from the old voting machines to the ‘fill the arrow’ optical system about 2 years ago, and I understand from talking to the election officials that they have been working very well.
Of course, my district is heavily Republician in their voting, so that might make a difference.
When you stuff the polls with illiterates it’s understandable, when you stuff the same polls with ignorant idiots you get the whole nation to lower the standards once again, they’re not even clever enough to get someone literate to fill out their absentee ballots for them, now back to that dog. It can now vote, and I might add more intelligently than those poor souls in Palm Beach County.
If they had used my suggestion and made it a draw by number picture page of the candidates profile it would have been lots easier. Dam those no numbered dashed lines.
After forty years of championing the “rights” of IQ-75 welfare recipients and convicted felons at the expense of productive citizens, the Democrats have now become utterly dependent upon the votes of crack-cocaine-addled welfare-recipient subliterate IQ-75 rabble. And now they are reaping their just rewards. “Dis beez too complicated! Deez ballots beez racist! Who does I votes for to gets muh welfare check? I’m-a call Jesse Jackson! I’m-a SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE yo honky ass!”
I think Robert Heinlein had a good idea when he said that every time you enter the voting booth, you should have to solve a simple quadratic equation before you’re allowed to vote.
Earthquake, I can’t argue with you. And I LOVE the quadratic equation angle, too!
Vilmar, I’ve ot the mathematical skills of a pre-schooler. Can we make it a history question instead?
BARB
Barb, you may have the math skills of a pre-schooler now but that’s probably because you didn’t have a good teacher. Unlike moonbats you have the capacity to learn so fear not.
