Where I vote is electronic ballots but I'm sure most places send out sample ballots as they do where I live. That being the case there isn't any reason you should have trouble filling out your ballot, not if you take time, look and read carefully. Also with all the fuss over the Bush/Gore election I would think that people would be more careful. Also they have people all around that I'm sure you could ask what you can do if you made a mistake. The ones with the smudges or finger prints are just stupid to contest. Some of those mistakes though looked like to me that the voter was trying to create problems by marking in several places, adding write-ins and the Lizard People. They should be rejected without question.

Getting to vote for the candidate of your choice is a sacred privilege and people should take it seriously. IMHO.
