Take a look at the New York absentee voter ballot package I received here in Spain. If you can make heads or tails of it. Beats me.
First, try sizing the PDF ballot (above) to print on letter paper, as per instructions. It doesn't print correctly, the names don't come out, and it's full of black streaks -- I tried 4 different ways and downloaded it twice.
Then all the nonsense about cutting and pasting the two envelopes they want you to print out. "Fold on the dotted line": I remember that joke from third grade. Haven't they heard about labels? You know, cut it out, tape it on an envelope, vazoom.
Or why not vote on the web? We do out banking on the web, pay our taxes on the web, so why not?
Seems designed by idiots, or people who don't want absentees to vote.
And then of course being digital, I can print and fill out as many ballots as I want and send the forms to all my friends so they can do the same. If any of us can manage to assemble it correctly and not have our ballots thrown out as unreadable.
It is so bad it should be denounced. Will try to do so. Please help!
Meanwhile, how am I supposed to vote?
