Then, you had to hand your 8.5" x 14" (legal size) paper ballot, unfolded, to the registrar, and everyone in the room could see which oval you had filled in.

Seemed pretty Mickey-Mouse.
Our precinct had some ACORN volunteers handing out ballots while waiting in line with the promise that they would tally them later in the day. Then they gave everyone suckers......or did they call us suckas?

There were some nuts there. Isn't an ACORN a nut? Interestingly they took on the name of a nut to represent their political views. How appropriate. It just hit me.

BTW.........Ohbama is going to bankrupt your industry. I'd start looking for another job........real quick. Perhaps part of the new citizen 'force'.

Oh don't you worry about us, we're a resourceful bunch.

BTW, I hope you liked $4 gas because we're rolling out $5 gas in early 2009. Gotta keeps those profits up somehow.
