Michael, what you say rings true. When I used to vote with a punchcard ballot in King County in Seattle, I remember looking over the ballot afterwards and tearing away Klingons. But I knew without being told that those pieces would cause a problem. Running them through the counting machine again causes some to drop off, hence the totals for both candidates climb, but mostly for the one who already has most. Some people probably think that the punchcard ballot is like the old push button radio dial -- don't like that station, push another one and the old one is undone. Lots of people don't have a clue sometimes about how things work really work.
