Florida is the place where all of this started. It's ironic because Florida has a lottery. In a lottery you basically vote for numbers. You use a pencil to mark little "bubbled" numbers, and hand it to the gas-station attendant. There has never been any issues with the way it's done, and they are able to keep up with how many winners there are, as soon as the numbers are picked. Why can't the lottery be this way too? It's due to the bullshit idea that who you vote for should be "secret". That's ironic too, because most people post signs in their yards.
