I voted absentee today so I could work on the election all day tomorrow. For president, the punchcard starts with the number one. The ballot, however, starts with the number two. So, alphabetically, it is Badnarik, Bush, Kerry, Nader (yes i know he was supposed to be removed), Peroutka. Furthermore, the numbers on the ballot are listed in the crease. So, Kerry is the third name down, but to vote for Kerry you must punch the number four on your ballot. The number three is Bush. I'm not sure if the same ballots are used throughout Franklin County, if they are being used for only provisional and absentee ballots, or if they are being used in Franklin County (Columbus) in poorer districts. Regardless, this is really not good.
