We have always wondered why the Republican’s say nothing ever about Democratic ballot chicanery. Well now we have learned that Republicans are equally as guilty. They really are the stupid party. One doesn’t expect ethics from Democrats. I guess one doesn’t from Republicans either.
I hope his campaign is robocalling to let folks like me know about it; I vote next Tuesday.
I went back to Ohio
My ballot was trashed
All set up to confuse me
Guess the checks had been written
and cashed
Hey, Ho!
Way to go
Ohio!
It looks a little confusing, sure. But how does this affect one candidate more than any other?
btt
The double listing of Presidential candidate is indeed odd. To make it more odd, the two lists of names are not in alphabetical order, but two different random orders.
Better get that guy with the magnafying glass up there from Palm Beach so he can discern whether or not there is a hanging chad.
Every delegate faces that. This is when Trump starts spending money to tell the people of Ohio how to correctly fill out the ballot.
If people fill this out incorrectly, it hurts their candidate also. When you think about it, this actually helps Trump.
Much ado about nothing. Delegates-at-large and district delegates selected separately. No big deal.
So how is it different for voters for any other candidate? It’s not just a Trump thing right? Or are you saying Trump voters are dimmer than other Republican voters?
Homer, I understand the fear, but I think the ballot is legit.
There are two choices that can be made. One is for the delegates for your district (10th) and one is for the delegates at large. So in theory you could select Kasich for your district’s delegates and Trump for the at large delegates.
At least that’s the way I’m reading it.
“Stop Trump” seems to apply exactly equally to all Republican candidates.
Looks like somebody is a little whiny.
Ahh...EVERY candidate on the ballot is in the same situation with their names appearing twice. It doesn’t disadvantage any candidate more than the rest of the candidates.
So ..... lighten up Francis, it’s not an anti-Trump or anti-anybody conspiracy.
“Looks like somebody is a little whiny.”
Not just a LITTLE whiney. After all, the grand poobah is the only one that matters to the Kool-Aid drinkers
Gee. One of us got it.
Those commenting above you don’t see anything unusual about the ballot.
It certainly doesn’t resemble the Florida one, nor the other 57 states.
“We have always wondered why the Republicans say nothing ever about Democratic ballot chicanery. Well now we have learned that Republicans are equally as guilty. They really are the stupid party. One doesnt expect ethics from Democrats. I guess one doesnt from Republicans either.”
You know that they are branches of the same party, right?
Somebody Needs a Snickers....
That’s simply not true. It has nothing to do with Trump. The ballot was always set up this way, and the vote that will be counted to determine the primary winner is the at-large vote. No one NEEDS to vote in both places. By the way, what is so confusing about voting for your candidate in both places where his name appears?
You want confusing, try Pennsylvania, which has always had a “beauty contest”, where you vote for the presidential candidate. There is also a vote by district for delegates, who are listed under their own names, without any indication of who they are pledged to, which did determine the delegates to the convention. So, you could vote for your candidate in the beauty contest, and they would show as the winner of the state, but, unless you know the delegates pledged to your candidate, you could end up voting for someone else’s delegates.
But how does this affect one candidate more than any other?
You're OBVIOUSLY a Trump hater.
