West Palm Beach designing new funny ballot

Remember this joke ballot from four years ago?

The West Palm Beach election supervisor who designed the infamous butterfly ballot, and who has switched her party registration to Republican, was inspired by it and has created a new early voter ballot which asks people to draw arrows connecting their choice of candidates for President.

We are not amused.

"People do the crazier things when they're asked to connect the arrows," said Stephen Ansolabehere, former director of the Voting Technology Project, a collaboration between the California and Massachusetts institutes of technology.
