They usually grasp it with the thumb and at least one finger and toss it towards a waste basket.

Ah ha Ah ha



Anyway,

$1:

259 ballots rejected

how does that happen.

Serves that goof right. He's a pompous windbag, he took the voters for granted and he almost lost because of it.

It's funny that those 259 folks who took the time to come out and vote but spoiled their ballots and half of those votes would have been made the difference.

[Canadaka]

there is a seat somewhere in the maritimes that the conservative beat the liberal by 40 something votes, its being recounted as well. They have 7 days or something.

how does that happen.

couple of ways i guess..

mark cricle instead of square.

draw 'x' outside the line.

mark more than one candidate.

mark no candidate

write ur own name, or otherwise deface.

im sure most of them are truly not marked correctly,
i think the disputed ballot has to be shown around and all
observers agree that its no good.

i hope we dont have 'hanging chads' in Canada.
