[EM] Re: Some are missing the point of the ballot `cockup'

Mr. Schulze noted-

I believe that it happens very frequently that a poll station uses wrong 
ballots (i.e.: ballots that have been printed for a different constituency).

D-  My state government has a detailed election manual/checklist for poll 
workers to follow on election day.

  Included in such manual is a requirement that the poll workers on election 
day are to check to see if the paper/ punchcard/ electronic ballots are 
correct for their precinct.   

The wrong ballot problem can easily occur in the U.S. due to the various 
overlapping congresional, state, county, city, etc. legislative body 
gerrymander districts (producing multiple ballot "forms" - the subareas with 
the same ballots- especially in urban areas -- yet another reason to have 
larger/fewer multi-member PR districts.
