Adam Smith

1) this isn’t California wide. This is Ventura County. 2) there are lots of ballot styles, and they position different races, differently, so where this ballot lines up different from other styles in county. 3) the envelopes are purchased and made well before the candidates are determined. Sometimes over a year in advance. 4) the hole is a common design feature and serves two purposes: a) so when election workers take ballot cards out of envelope, they can quickly look to see if grabbed all of them, b) it’s an alignment mark that visually impaired can use to know where to sign 5) as the narrator says in video, you can easily fold your ballot so nothing shows 6) what’s the theory of fraud here? That postal employee is gonna throw your ballot out after looking at that hole? You think the election office wouldn’t notice if hundreds of ballots thrown out? 7) also, you can track your ballot to make sure it arrives an election facility 8) or you can drop off at a drop box and then picked up directly by election workers 9) I know this is your profit model — posting videos like this — but it’s an immoral and idiotic profit model.
