I do too, and I think it was gauche.

Looks pretty sinister to me.

Naah, a sinister plot would discriminate against right-handers.

I think that was the only pun left.

As a left-hander I can understand what she means.

The more important question is why they aren't use the simple fill in the blank bubble.

/it's Florida, I know

There's something just not right about that headline.

 
Skleenar 2008-08-17 12:33:55 PM  
I think this is a violation of lefties' rights.

/this thread is making me hungry. Anyone know where I can get some German links?

I tried to give this a +1, but I wound up voting for Pat Buchanon.

/got nuthin'

I'm scared to ask, but assuming that's real, how many people voted with that ballot?

 
JasonOfOrillia 2008-08-17 02:10:16 PM  
it is a real kick to the gules.

Very dextrous headline subby.


/dextrously dexterous with the flavor of dextrose

I've been Ayn Randed, nearly branded communist cause I'm left handed. That's the hand they use. Well, nevermind.

When did first graders start being allowed to vote?

FTA: Ovals are used on standardized tests and in playing the lottery. Thus, the study says, voters are more likely to get it right with ovals over arrows.

"I really feel filling in the ovals is much easier," Tanenholz said.

Is that so hard?

Honestly Obama had the right idea... don't let Florida vote.

// Yes I'm trolling.
/// Sadly starting to believe florida can't get more stupid.

 
Riche [TotalFark] 2008-08-17 02:43:17 PM  
Seems more like an anti-sinister plot to me.

 
Shadowknight [recently expired TotalFark] 2008-08-17 02:43:32 PM  
Well, it's not like lefties are really people, anyway.

People say that and they are later proven wrong


/Florida's electoral votes will go to Pat Buchanan this year
//And he's not even running!

Brockway: I think we can all agree that this ballot would be confusing to a democrat:

I'm completely confused.

Here in Canada we use the old fashioned big circle beside the name and you can do whatever you want in the circle (someone drew a happy face!) as long as it is clear who you want.

Exactly... This was a dexter plot.

No, they seem to discriminate against sub-80 IQ people, obviously a sinister plot against the vast majority of Floridians.

 
humandrive 2008-08-17 04:58:27 PM  
As a left-hander who sees evil plots against left-handers in normal everyday items, I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

/really most all powertools were designed to kill lefties.

 
TheRockinDonkey 2008-08-17 05:10:28 PM  
I fail to understand why they feel the need to get cute with their voting methods when there are far more straight-forward methods which could be put to use.

I don't think it's a huge leap to say that voting mistakes could be made with that 2000 election ballot. Do I think it was intentional? No. Poorly thought out? Yes.

Whatever happened to a good old X in a box?

Clearly, those power tools are faulty, and need to be redesigned.

This took a lot of Dexterity to pull off.

I'm a lefty, and I'm pretty sure I could make this work. But don't ask me about scissors or can openers...

Apparently left-handers should feel slighted by some schools as well. We used these kinds of scantrons almost exclusively in FL.

Honestly.. turn the sheet upside down/sideways whatever it's not that hard!

Look who was running for the Workers World party.

Monica Moorehead.

/Wasn't she a Bond girl?
