Re: The big whie paper was a bit confusing

I chose to vote 1 above the line and was scanning across looking for Liberal.

The 3rd or 4th one along was' Liberal Democrats' and i was gonna put a 1 under them but didnt recognice the "democrats" part of the name so luckily, i had taken a 'How to vote Liberal' paper from a man outside and i checked that and it said nothing about Democrats, so i looked further along the line and there was 'Liberal' alone right at the end.

I do wonder though, how many Liberal voters may of put a 1 under 'Liberal Democrats' accidentally

I know the Liberals at our polling place were telling people, I didn't want the "how to vote" paper, but they said if I was voting Liberal above the line that they were at the end.

the ones at my polling place wernt telling people that. They should have been

The big white paper was about a metre long but the booth was only .5 wide!

Well as I am not very political I do wonder if anyone numbers all the boxes underneath. All 1- 83.
I was gobsmacked at the size of it, just about tripped over it walking to the booth, had it curling up the walls filling it in then had to carefully fold not scrunch to dispose of it.

As most of them are illiterate and base their vote on the lies Rupert Murdoch has told them, many of them may of (sic) put a 1 in the wrong place on the big whie (sic) paper.

You do realise we don't all get the same big whie (sic) paper?

When I went to vote the guy marked my name off and passed me the forms and told me to put a 1 above the line. I saved heaps of time by having my preferences saved to my phone so got all the boxes numbered below the line accurately. He also didn't ask me if I'd already voted.

I wasnt asked that either, thought it was a bit strange.

Just googling, I see that NSW had 110 below the line. It makes our (QLD) 82 look like a picnic.

I did, because no-one tells me how to vote. I decide for myself.

I numbered them all at home, and just transposed the numbers on to the ballot paper.
