Many votes has messages or drawings scrawled on it.

What we should do, is scan these votes and post it on the web. Any messages in these slips are auto transcribed for analysis.

The actual vote settings is censored for voter privacy reasons.

What this allows for, is datamining what people write on their ballots! And to see many ways people can draw inappropriate images on voting slips.

This would work with write-in ballots. After Mickey Mouse, //my penis// (I don't have one) is the next most popular write-in. The drawings may go along with your write-in choice.

At long last!

This idea may help build that groundswell of support I've been waiting for to catapult my favorite perennial write-in, Fatty Arbuckle!

Well Done, [mofo]! Have a bun [+]
