That's the point Mighty1
No matter how the Dem's try to spin this, the simple fact remains: The ballot is clear about where to punch for your chosen candidate.
Did these people think the arrows were put there only for decoration? Must just be a strange coincidence that the arror starts next to the candidate's name and points directly to a punch hole.
Lynx I never said they were dumb. I said they couldna be bothered to take an extra minute to completely read the ballot. In the first 5 seconds I looked at that image I understood exactly how it works. I know not everyone will pick it up that quick, but how simple do you have a make a point and click thing? Hell the ballot does the pointing for you, and it's not like the arrows are angled up or down, they're going straight and level across the page directly to a punch hole. There's no abiguity there.
Please explain to me how that ballot can be misleading. There are large, black arrows extending from the candidates name and pointing directly at a punch hole, and as I said, they're straight and level across the page, not at any odd angles.
As for coming clean about messing up the ballot design, I think that woman has every right to defend her work. Lotta old folks in Palm Beach right? It's like a retirement community for the most part? I know my grandparents found larger type easier to read as they got above 70. I'm sure some prefer the smaller type too. But this lady was trying to make it clear, and according to the reports in the stories I've read NOONE had any objections to the ballots when test samples were sent out for opinions. THAT is when these people should have spoken out.
I almost dread the end of the recount, when the ballot smoke will be dropped and something probably worse will be revealed.
