this is so interesting (and baffling, from an american perspective)! i feel like "nationwide scantron testing nightmare" is probably an accurate depiction of how our federal elections work

though: having looked into the matter as a result of this post it does appear that the colorado revised statutes are similar in their essentials—surprising, considering that this is also the state that threw out my ballot in the 2014 senatorial election on the basis of my signature not matching my voter registration, even though i signed my ballot and my registration maybe 30 seconds apart!
