My Ballot
Saturday, November 1, 2008 at 3:16PM
I'm trying to figure out how they figured the order for this. Hmmm...not alphabetical...not related to polling numbers...not alphabetical by party...not alphabetical by running mate's name...
Just find it odd that Barack Obama is below Ralph Nader while McCain sits conveniently at the top. Someone please tell me I'm an idiot and I'm missing something because in my honest opinion, the front runners should probably be somewhere at the top, sort of like a poster for a concert. Although, I would certainly hope that one would know exactly who they're voting for for president. I can't help but feel like this ballot was designed with a certain bias. I could be totally wrong and there might be a completely logical explaination for this...maybe that's why I'm not in politics.

Different states (and counties) have different rules for ballot order. Some rotate the major parties at the top, some do it by random order. It's not a conspiracy but there are a lot of problems that come from having so many different forms of ballots and different election laws across the country.
Looks like it goes from left to right on the political spectrum. Maybe.
haha thats funny as hell.. good catch
