No, there was an article about it in the newspapers. It's actually really simple. If there is any doubt, it doesn't count. Otherwise, they'll count it as what you meant. It works beautifully.
- burkaman 10y agoOk, I just don't see how you can argue that's better than just filling in a circle next to your choice. Maybe you can say it's better than Florida's stupid hole punch thing, but I don't see a single advantage over filling in a single circle, and I see many disadvantages. It's way too easy to imagine someone losing an election by a tiny margin and finding hundreds of ballots that were thrown out but should arguably have counted for them. What is the benefit of this extra room for error? Who gets to decide when there is doubt? I am sure it works great, but I am also sure that the system most US states have at the moment is better.
