In Iowa we get a piece of paper with a bunch of circles we fill in with our vote that then gets put into a machine that counts them. Only identity check is someone checking your ID of choice at a desk, usually drivers license.
I don't understand. Do you circle the one you vote for?
You fill in the box/circle completely. The ballot is then fed into the machine which scans for the blacked out fields.
I see. Like for a quizz.
Exactly! Except here in America, most options on this quiz are absolutely terrible so it's a recurring problem where we vote for the best of two pieces of shit.
