Oct 2014

In GA. Always review the ballot before submitting. On my first review, it showed that I had not selected a candidate for one of the polls, so I went back to fix that.

On the second review, it showed another candidate had been left off. Even though I was sure I had answered every single question, I went back again and fixed that question.

Amazingly, the third review also showed a missed question.

On the fourth review, it showed that all the questions had been answered and I submitted my ballot.

The good news is that these problems didn't occur with the major votes for governor and senator. Had that happened, it would have been extremely obvious and I'd be crying foul right now. It could be that I was extremely distracted and not selecting candidates when I thought I was, although nothing like that has ever happened to me before.
