Good lord. Why keep these stupid paper ballots. Even my supposedly backwards state of LA has a system where no identifying marks, stray lines or finger smudges can lead to “confusion” about a voters intent. Obviously there are too many dopes in MN who can’t figure out how to mark a “scan tron” ballot. Ours has a plastic covered paper overlay where you press the candidates name and a yellow X appears next to the name. then press the Cast Vote button and you’re done. Simple.
If you think e-voting is the “better” way— you just might be the “dope”
