Here in Baltimore County in Maryland, you simply had to connect two lines that were about an inch apart into one line VERY SIMPLE. Whereas, when I live in Philadelphia, we used the OOOOOLLLLLDDD voting booths w/ levers where you cannot vote for more than one candidate per office selection.
There are too many variations and I am definitely a supporter of a national standard. In fact, the governor of Maryland just announced his initiative for this state to do just that job. e appointed a committee that has 60 days to make a recommendation so that everything will be in place for the 2002 elections. He has also committed the necessary funds for new/leased equipment and voter/election official education upfront.

Just wondering. Here in Canada, we voted on Monday, November 27th, and all ballots are the same format....the names are all listed alphabetically (with the party written underneath each name), with a circle beside each candidate. You mark an "X" in PENCIL and that's that. Pretty low tech stuff. (The ballots are the same design across the country).
