Demorep, if you think that's all it takes to know how to vote, then
I hope you don't vote.

I vote at each election in my local precinct and am in and out a lot quicker 
than a lot of my neighbors (since I pay some attention to the sample ballots 
before voting).

In my State, there are routinely a number of YES/NO type issues on the 
ballots -- state constitutional amendments, state laws, local charter 
amendments, local ordinances.

Democracy in such State seems to survive OK when a majority of the voters 
vote YES or NO on each issue.

If friendly *average* voters can not simply vote YES or NO on each candidate 
choice for public offices and number rank them, then things are much worse 
than one might imagine --- even with the political- social- economic 
mindlessness taught by *modern* public schools in the U.S.A. (and in other 
countries).   

Fortunately very few of the voters have the conspiracy/ strategy mindset of 
Mr. Ossipoff.
