Im not talking left or right, im talking how does it go down.
First i show them my ID, and they look me up in their book.
I sign in the book (next to an image of a previous signature).
They then give me a numbered ballot and record what number ballot i was given in the book i just signed.
It is a paper ballot with bubbles to fill in. I finsh by sticking the ballot into a machine that will either give me an 'A OKay' or a 'Rejection' spitting the ballot back out at me (if i filled in two bubbles, or only half).
My problem is the numbered ballots seem to negate the 'secret ballot' im suppose to have.
I'll happily debate ANYONE over my voting choices, but i still think this is total bullshit.
We use to have the 'poke though'/'hanging chad' type. But after Fl 2000, we got this new shit.
Anybody have a true 'secret ballot'?
Would love to know from some internationals how they get to vote.
