Hey Americans - what did your actual ballot look like?
Since I am a Canadian, I am very interested in this:
One thing I would like to ask the Americans on this board is when you voted, what did the actual ballot that you received look like? Was it a "punch a hole" for the candidate that you want kind, or
"mark an X" in pencil or
"shade in the circle" (like those Opscan tests at college).
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).
I think the "punch a hole" ballot is a bad idea (design wise), because if you make a mistake, you can't undo it. Whereas with pencil, at least you can erase it if you change your mind a few times, or if you make a mistake.
Please let me know what your ballot was like, I am interested.
