See Ohio Ballot and How Anti-Bush it is

We have electronic in our county, and they work very nicely. But, I am not educated on the potential fraud problems of electronic vs. other methods.

I know that write-ins work, because a few years ago I wrote in Dale Earhnardt for congress, and went back the next day to verify my vote. It was counted.

But, with any system, you should carefully study the procedure so as not to make mistakes.

 

It was designed knowing that any reasonable person assumes the arrow pointing to the name is the correct line. It's deceptive and flat wrong!

 

I agree with the poster on FreeRepublic.com:

Looks like a Photoshop job to me. Someone seems to have removed the "1" on both the Badnarik and Bush lines.

 

I happen to agree. I was going to mention it earlier. The photo looks doctored. Note that the edges near some of the numbers look like they've been copied & pasted.

 

Looks like the Florida ballot against Gore last election. Maybe they took it from them.

 

How, looking at one sketchy picture, can you determine not only the quality of the ballot but the intention of the designer?

Until I had reason to think otherwise, I would assume that Ohio has more control over their ballot process than to simply allow the GOP or DNC to rig the ballot up front.

Ballot designs are subject to intense scrutiny and a lot of checks and balances, along with strict procedures. Not that that insures that they will always be great, but it does preclude the kind of simple trickery implied here.

 

Living in Ohio, I have no problem seeing the intent of the ballot. The number after the name indicates the box the voter needs to punch. The arrows merely indicate that the punches need to be made on the page to the right, not on the page with the candidates' names. Anti-Bush? Not at all!

 

Keith knows how to follow simple instructions. He is one of the ones who should be allowed to vote.

 

We didn't have those types of ballots today. They were very simple, and you colored in the oval by the candidate you were voting for. They weren't listed closely together.
The only problem I had was that the door was locked when I went, but I think that was someone walking out who accidentally clicked it, a few minutes later when I went back it was fine.

Bit of amusement on the way out...my daughter stuck a sticker on me that says "I voted today", as I walked out the lady at the desk handed me another and I stuck it on my other shoulder. As I walked out the door a guy jokingly said "hey, she voted twice!" I ran for the door to avoid any ensuing scandals...LOL

PAJim, quit being so mean about people who might misunderstand the ballot! I'm sure you're not perfect in every way and could make an honest mistake over something that isn't that hard to grasp, ok? You don't have to be mean and nasty and imply that people who might make that mistake shouldn't be allowed to vote!

It is funny to me how that one side says grow up and read if a ballot seems easy for one side...but they say it is unfair if it is the other way around.

Politics are dirty, plain and simple.
On both sides.

 

Gina:

You got it wrong this time, Dale - Pennsylvania Jim is an odd fellow on the third side.

Hey, that's what Jim is constantly harping on!

 

Yes, good old Photoshop which I have. when you understand just what it can do...it makes you think twice before believing what you see in pictures these days, especially low quality jpegs

Hey, that's what Jim is constantly harping on! </font>[/QUOTE]Jim is right then

 

I just posted a "Photoshopped" version of that same picture to put the "1s" back in. Just to show all of you how easy it is to do so that you don't belive everything you see

Now I have posted yet another photo, only this time showing that it is "unfair" for the democrats since they are now at number 16 as opposed to 6 like before.
Again, this is a fake, just as I am sure the first one was.
Don't believe everything you hear peopl.!
