This means, a BOE person will have to fill out another paper ballot, then (as I understand it) get board approval to have another ballot filled out. This means I will have to put my trust into someone to faithfully recast my vote, and not screw up unintentionally or cast my vote differently through their own political agenda. <BR/><BR/>This is a seemingly small issue, but it's an important one, because it again points out that this hasn't been thought through properly at all.<BR/><BR/>And proper poll worker training is the duty of Brunner's office, which receives General Fund tax dollars to do so.<BR/><BR/>When banks want to protect their money, they have the Brinks Company pull up with a nearly impenetrable vehicle manned by people with guns. When Ohio wants to protect votes, it drops them into a card board box. How stupid is this? It shows have little the system actually values voting and votes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
