Only in government would this moron still have a job following the 2000 debacle.

This woman shouldn't be trusted with the 10PM-2AM shift at the bowling alley snack bar, much less the supervision of an election.

Oh for crying out loud!! I moved from Oklahoma in January and just completed a Florida absentee ballot (for Leon County). I thought it would be easier and more time efficient than standing in line. The absentee ballot is very easy. geez

That's how the absentee ballots are in Maricopa County in AZ... they're easy as pie to figure out...

This is my standard ballot design in my part of North Carolina. It's not that hard, people!!
P.S. - not mentioned in the story, the DEMOCRATS are still in charge of elections in that county.

So... a Democrat who approved the ballot that led to the 2000 debacle and attempt to steal the election by lawsuit approves another ballot apparently a setup for a legal challenge...
..and attempt to steal an election by lawsuit?
Democrats do learn.

by connecting broken arrows... Now, what exactly would make the ballot NOT confusing? Perhaps... broken purple hearts, where you connect the ribbon to the medal?

The critics aren't complaining about the ballot -- they are planting the seeds of doubt in the readers' minds.
I saw this ballot demonstrated on TV in a news story about ballots. A professor was saying that this is the easiest, most conceptual ballot available. Basically, you have an arrow pointing to a candidate's name, with the middle of the arrow blanked out. To vote for a candidate, you fill in the middle of the arrow to make one continuous line.
I bet that the problem the "critics" have is that if the ballot is too easy, it will undermine their claims of ballot tampering and confusion. If the Florida electorate can't understand this ballot, then how can they understand road signs with curvey arrows, split arrows, merging arrows, u-turn arrows, etc?

Only she's an independent now. Cover for a complicit press? Or is there a part of the story we don't know?

Put them all in a concentration camp. Hand them an arrow ballot. "Do you want to leave the concentration camp?" The answers are "yes" "no" and "Pat Buchanan".
Anyone who successfully answers "yes" can leave and go about their regularly scheduled lives. The rest should be turned into Soylent Green.
