“Some voters will
object to voting with a ballot that is not secret, and will “white out” or
cross out the serial number that uniquely identifies their ballot “ [|>] The bar code on the sides of the ballots identify the ballot
style, not the individual ballot. Ballot style is about what issues a person
can vote on in a particular geographical location. My wife and I would have the
same ballot style in a general election, but different in a primary. We live in
the same house, but we are members of different parties. I get a Libertarian
ballot, she gets a Democratic ballot. If we were members of the same party the
barcodes would be identical. Paul Tiger "In order to have an effective technology, reality must
take precedence over public relations. For nature cannot be fooled."
