Everyone has "goofed" on a form at one time or another. The difference here is one is voting for the President of the United States.

Therefore, one should take those few extra minutes to look the ballot over first.
If that person didn't understand the ballot, all they had to do was ask for help. At that point, one person from each party would step into the voting booth, to provide assistance with explaning how the ballot works.

Every person is allowed to receive up to 3 ballots if they "goof" up on the first 2. Of course, the first ones are discounted.

Next, every person should recheck their "answers." Just like taking a test in high school and college, NEVER turn in your test until you have rechecked your answers 3 times. You will almost always discover a mistake you made.

It is difficult for me to understand how someone could not take the time to at least double check their work. For example, if I was voting for 10 different people, and I had 11 holes punched, that should be a real indication I made a mistake.

But most importantly, each person needs to QUIT taking everything the media has to say as Gospel. Always ask yourself in EVERY situation, "What is their agenda?" This keeps you on your toes, and not gullible to being swayed or taken in. This is very important if you want to run your own business!

If you haven't seen what the controversial ballot looks like, you need to! Dien has provided a link to a site which shows the top portion of the ballot.

Now keep in mind, the actual ballot is at LEAST 10 times larger than the photo. (See for yourself how difficult that ballot was, or was not, to use.)

Also remember, a sample ballot was placed in the newspapers with directions before election day. And also, a sample ballot was sent to EVERY household in the state before the election.

If you plan on becoming successful, you MUST be responsible for your own actions! Don't let, or expect, anyone to do your thinking for you. Take the time to study, be informed, and be prepared. Successful people are LEADERS, not followers.

Thanks,
