112. Chili: Thans for this. Do you know anything about the HISTORY
of Cleveland's implementation of the ballot shuffle? What the BOE does with ballot ordering seems UNBELIEVABLY STUPID! If they wanted to avoid giving any candidate without name-recognition the advantage of superior ballot position, they just as easily could have shuffled BY POLLING PLACE, rather than BY PRECINCT, avoiding possible "caterpillar crawl" completely by standardizing machines within the same polling place. The current implementation just invites mishap and deliberate mischief.

Has this been going on for a long time? Or did it come in with HAVA, with Ken Blackwell, or with Gov. Taft?
