Responding to  Buddha Buck ---

Many areas have rotated names on the ballots in various precincts for the 
various offices (to reduce the well known *donkey* top of ticket vote) --- 
which affects how the ballots would be marked (using whatever method-- 
*absolute* (such as YES/NO) and/or *relative* (such as 1, 2, etc.).

Precinct 1

A
B
C
D
E

Precinct 2

E
A
B
C
D

Precinct 3

D
E
A
B
C

Etc.

"Grading" (for each candidate, an A, B, C, D, F grade) is a shorthand form of 
scale voting for a range of scale votes.

A = 100 to 93 (?)
B =  92 (?) to 85 (?)
Etc.
F = 40 (?) - 0
