I presume you're talking about the last-but-one, replete with hanging
chads.  Thus the question remains, why do Americans find it too
difficult to put an 'X' in a box next to a name?  (Or would we be
wondering if a '/' meant that they thought about the candidate but
changed their mind at the last moment?)

Technology can't be the solution if there is no problem.
