If you are that stupid to write your name on the ballot you deserve your vote to be thrown out. You can't be that fucking stupid.
How people can fuck up writing "yes" or "no" in a single box is beyond me
Absolutely blew me away both sides handing out "how to vote" pamphlets. For elections it makes more sense but to write a single word in a box is insane
Why? Polling has suggested a large percentage of voters will remain undecided up until the moment they vote. Having representatives there to influence and persuade voters is of strategic importance for both the Yes and No campaigns.
I hope you don't actually think "how to vote" volunteers are there simply to help people understand how voting works.
