I don't know, there are a lot of people that believe our politicians (past, present, or future) eat kittens. It could be real.

At the risk of dredging up some sense...
Your answer is really irrelevant though. While you're free to question a law at any time, it's a bit absurd to just ignore laws because you don't happen to like them right at the moment. Certainly, waiting until after an election and then insisting we should ignore what the existing election law says because you don't like it isn't a great idea.
You agree upon rules for an election *before* the election. You don't change them after or during. We only have these things every two years. If folks want to change the laws, there's plenty of time to do so. But you can't expect to apply different rules for this election based on some alternatives you'd rather have.
And in a perfect world, no one would ever make mistakes on their ballots. We don't live in that world though, and our laws need to reflect that...

The "must check for intent" law is what is in question, not the rules for filling out the ballot.
Question:
Why must we support this law that calls for checking the intent on erroneous ballots?
Your answer:
We shoud, because the law says so.
My answer:
We shouldn't, because the directions for filling the ballot are clearly laid out, support is provided for those who may have difficulty understanding it, and support is offered for those who may have difficulty filling it out on their own due to disabilities. There is no reason to not fill it out correctly.

If the question had been, "Why should people follow the rules printed on the ballots". And I answered "Because the rules are printed on the ballots", then that would be the same as what your answer was. But obviously that isn't the question. (The correct answer though would be "Because having uniformity in the way the ballots are filled eliminate misunderstandings and errors during counting.)
And in a perfect world, no one would ever make mistakes on their ballots. We don't live in that world though, and our laws need to reflect that...

Gbaji, this is all lovely and whatnot, but we're talking about the life of a kitten here. The question at hand is, Is George Bush a lizard person, and if so, do all lizard people eat kittens?
Oh, and do you really want an answer to the question Sam, or do you really not know?

Oh it's a David Icke thing...thinks GWB is one of "them". At least, that's my assumption as to why the photo came up.

NO! Not Kris too!
I guess so. Ickle did mention Bush specifically as being one of them.
Along with most world leaders.
And as an ALF I suppose it's his duty to eat cats whenever possible.
It all makes sense now.

I'm really starting to get upset now.

Did you happen to watch the Jon Stewart blurb on Minnesota? Our new license plate motto "Minnesota, Crazier than you think". I like it!
