Palm Beach County has introduced an absentee ballot that
requires voters to indicate their choices by connecting broken arrows,
sparking criticism that it is even more confusing than the infamous

joining two ends of an arrow. LePore said she selected the ballot after
tests showed it was easier for voters. Critics say the new ballot is
not an improvement. [more]
