Sorry, but I never went for the "confusing ballot" thing.
1. The ballots aren't that confusing. If you take a minute to study it and follow directions, there's nothing confusing about it at all. I can see being confused if you try to hurry up and rush through it, but anyone who doesn't take the time to follow directions and make sure their intention is clear in what is THE most important thing they can do that year, then their vote shouldn't be counted.
2. Anyone stupid enough to not be able to figure out the ballot doesn't deserve to have their vote counted.
3. If there's a problem in reading or understanding it, then ASK FOR HELP. There's people on hand just for that purpose; to help the elderly and disabled select the candidate they like best. If someone can't do that, then their vote doesn't deserve to be counted.
