I have a problem understanding this one:
pres koops mub howz rezz teg gripp

After looking at it 15 minutes I think I understand most of it but I have to interpret it with no certainty.
The Supreme Court would probably find that valid, since it doesn’t badmouth me.

Scott, if you think that’s bad, a couple years ago there was a (possibly tied) vote with two spoiled ballots, both spoiled by the voter (voting for my ticket) writing in how much they hated me as a running mate. Those votes were kindly invalidated by the election administrator, who, as my rival for the Vice Presidency, felt it necessary to defend me by discarding the votes of those who attacked me.

I think I vaguely remember that.

I think over time I've gotten more conservative on the ballot issue. It should just be a simple vote. It doesn't need campaign messages that can easily be posted elsewhere. It should be in plain English and not in Korean or French or whatever. Out of courtesy to the person counting the votes, the ballot should either be copied and pasted or it should be formatted in a way that's simple and easy to understand voters' intent.

In other words, no more stuff like

House:
1. Sev
2. FalterinArc
3. TexasGurl still wets the bed lolololololol
4. f#ck jessica but I guess I'll vote for her

And for the love of God post these things in the right thread and don't vote in other regions' polls just to be cute.

This, a million times.
