I've been voting for over 30 years now and I can't think of a single time that I thought a ballot was "complex". They are written for morons.

You have to be awful stupid (note to journalists) to not be able to push the probe into the hole that says "yes" or "no". Or to take a pencil and put the "X" in the proper box.

Naturally this process is difficult for the armies of Alzheimer's victims and mental patients that the demoncraps mobilize on election day. And for the "voting dead" it's well-nigh impossible. Though the demonRATS seem to manage anyhow.

And with these computerized machines, how do we know no-one's screwed with the hardware and/or software? At one point I heard that one vendor was even supplying the software for most if not all of the machines. Personally, I'd be more comfortable with the low tech methods since I would think it would easier to spot fraud.

The problem is that these geezers don't read about the issues that they are being asked to vote on. If they would pick up a paper and "pre-cast" their choices BEFORE getting in line, they could transpose those choices into the machine in a matter of minutes. Instead they get to the poll and try to read and decide on all of the compelex amendments and referendums at the last moment. They should give each voter a 5 minute time limit and the machine kicks them out.

It is because we have tons of constitutional amendments on in Florida, I think about 11. They are all long and many are difficult to make heads or tail out of. If you have never read them before, even if you are a good reader, you will spend at least 15 minutes reading them. So many people, who think they just have to vote "Bush" or "McBride" are going to greeted with pages and pages (literally) of reading tomorrow. That is why the repubs have been pushing early voting here.
