Why don't they just mark the name on a piece of paper? Seems like they could save a ton of money in printing costs.

Sure, but something like 98% of people manage to fill optical scan ballots out properly. Is the extra cost really worth the inconvenience of deciphering optical scan ballots during recounts?

Yeah, getting rid of voter intent laws would also solve that problem. Not that I favor that, mind you.

Aside from the trolling, Phil, I think what they're trying to get at is this: what makes you so certain? You've been adamant that Sarkozy will win for the whole campaign.

I imagine nothing. He's just half-trolling and will have bragging rights in the unlikely event that Sarkozy actually wins.

Ding ding ding.

Marine Le Pen saying she doesn't like Sarkozy isn't really anything new.

Wake me up when Sarkozy actually ties or leads a poll.

Locking this thread pre-emptively seems like a nice idea.

Yeah, I think any insightful discussion has probably come to a close.
