Hello Roy.... Tell your friend in Iowa that I'm not a little old lady and I would have had trouble with that ballot. They've been discontinued in other states be cause lots of people have trouble with it ...and....taking cheap shots at little old ladies instead of the man who was afraid to let their votes be counted is tacky in the extreme and beneath contempt. By the way...I recently found out that I have roots in Yorkshire.....a Sheriff, in fact Robert Wright (1458-1501) of Plowland in Holderness, Yorkshire He was also an ancestor to President George Washington...a gentleman who never had to railroad an election in his life...nor would he.
