Uh, what Amos suggested, Carol C, is kind of what I wondered. Again, if it is as prevelent as you suggest, it shouldn't be too difficult to cite examples.

Guest Jon: I think perhaps you are too quick to rush to judgement. Perhaps it is because you are living so far removed from American elections. I'm certain that there is some voter fraud in this country. However, as a whole, I believe our election process is fair and with only a minimum amount of it.

I think the problem most of these folks have who scream foul after an election is their candidates don't win elections. Therefore, SOMETHING must be wrong with the voting system. It doesn't even occur to such people that they may be backing the wrong horse.

If a person can't connect a simple arrow with a felt pen (with a space between the feather and the tip to be fille in with the pen) perhaps one should not be voting anway. The same with punching a hole. You have a tool and you punch a hole. Such folks probably would have difficulty finding the polling place anyway.
