In the 19th century, in big city machines, it was customary for parties to hand out pre-printed ballots at the polling places to people who would pick them up and deposit them one at a time. Everyone could see who you were voting for by whether you picked up and deposited the ballot. Then, of course, the rest of the preprinted ballots would be stuffed into the box by whichever party controlled the voting. Sort of like Florida today... <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>// posted by<A><B> </B></A>LTGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762928.post-1131498896810103792005-11-08T17:14:00.000-08:002005-11-08T17:14:00.000-08:00It is illegal to compaign within 100 feet of a pol...It is illegal to compaign within 100 feet of a polling place.

Our polling people are very nice even though last year, the brother of one of the candidates held up a sign in front of the church and was asking and begging for people to vote for his brother. A poll worker who was very stressed out of him asked him to leave. He wouldn't and then she raced back inside to get someone and she comes back with the biggest guy I've ever seen. I felt like a freshman, standing behind the senior running back from high school. The brother ran off with his sign...the crowd cheered. I found out laster the guy lost. <BR/><BR/><A></A><A></A>// posted by<A><B> </B></A><A HREF="http://thecitizens.blogspot.com/2005/11/tales-of-beleaguered-poll-worker.html" REL="nofollow" TITLE="Siddharthawolf at gmail dot com">siddhaerthawolf</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
