I lived in Cuyahoga county for most of my life, and used these voting cards for 20+ years. The card is in a slot where the numbers cannot be seen. Also, I don't recall ever seeing a large number next to the candidate's name. There's just names with arrows pointing to a hole in the machine that lines up with holes in the card. As you turn the pages to vote on other candidates/issues, the visible holes in the machine are aligned with another column of holes in the card.
Frankly, I think that this is a fake.

I hope and pray you are right. I see license after license from out of state here everyday. Today, some nut from Penn was ahead of me, complete with tags that had expired in January. Patriots and law-abiding citizens--are the only ones I will ever defend again.

The thing that I find shocking about this ballot is that "Candidate Disqualified" appears on the ballot before third-pary candidate A (Constitution Party) and third-pary candidate B (Libertarian Party) and long before President Bush/Republican Party.
If the party affiliations are listed "alphabetically", why is there NO PARTY AFFILIATION listed with 3 of the 5 candidates???
Talk about disenfranchising Bush voters (ANYBODY BUT BUSH appears before his name, "read all the other candidate names and see if you just won't please vote for someone other than Bush").

This is an ABSENTEE ballot, so there is no "slot" or "machine" involved.
