I actually saw a true lever machine, once.. In a US museum of Jim Crow history, but that is as close I have and will ever get to one, as I have done my days with IBM yellow cards, chads both here and there and ecerywhere, as well as how to turn the counting wheels from behind. In general I just focus on writing one number within a large circle, but as we have a proportional representation, multy-party system, that number has even three digits, tough stuff for the fingers when it gets above 009. Additionally I know that my neighbor is involved in counting them and that little paper is kept, archived for at least 10 years in case sombody would complaine. Btw, the non-numbered candidate who tend to get the most votes is traditionally Donald Duck (we have not implemented this "none of above" voting choice).
