    Maybe the second candidate was s*** and nobody wanted to vote for them? Or maybe voters really only wanted the one person.

      Or, and I think this is more likely, people are used to the idea of marking more than one name invalidating the ballot.

        You think that’s more likely huh? But somehow only in those two heavily minority districts? What are you basing that on?

          I don’t think it’s just in those minority districts. The article states that it’s WORSE in those districts, that doesn’t mean it’s not a problem elsewhere.

          Maybe they need to put “Vote for Two” in bold or a bigger font or something. Like I said at the top, it’s hard to tell without seeing the ballot design.
