Heck, they even took write-in votes in AK where they read the "intent of the voter" even though the law says that the name must be spelled correctly for the vote to count.

In general, too many vote, IMHO. People without a basic understanding of government should be disallowed. Since public education exists, and is free, this is not a draconian standard since everyone has the free means by which to obtain this very minimal level of education.
