Hey Americans - what did your actual ballot look like?

Not sure how it works, but my precinct in Michigan has the lever system thingy. It's a huge machine, and you can either pull the top lever to vote all republican, all democrat, or whatever. Or you can individually vote. I thought it was pretty cool and quick and easy.

First time voter.

How would a write-in work on a machine like that?

Ours had a option you could touch that said "write in" but I don't know how you'd write it in. Maybe a keyboard would appear on the touch screen and you'd type in the name.

Mine was simple, just fill in the circle of the candidate you wanted, with room underneath for write-in votes.
