Its plain and simple. Now for people with arthritis, or seeing problems ,etc , then I feel for them - but that is what polling workers do. Ive seen several signs at polling stations that ask voters to not hesitate to ask for help if they have a problem/question or concern.

Regardless of whether it was all elderly or not that had problems with the Fla. 2000 ballot, your hard and fast rules would exclude these very same people. As I've argued throughout this entire thread, trying to exclude "stupid people" from voting is an intrinsically elitist, undemocratic and dangerous idea.
