We used to have just that. You wrote the name of the guy you were voting for on a piece of paper and stuffed that in the ballot box. I don't see why we had to change in the first place. |
When did we have that? At first we didn't vote at all - electors were selected by state legislatures. I'm not sure how they did it when different states started experimenting with letting the people choose the electors. It would be interesting to see some of those old ballots.
I still have no problem with checking a box beside the guy's name, or writing in a choice.
