Listers:
Today I ran across a bill from Orange County (Va) to a firm named
Larmand & O'Sullivan for "130 ballot tubes," price $0.75 total. Has
anyone on either list HEARD of ballot tubes? Given the small number of
eligible voters, 130 would likely have been plenty for the entire
county. Was this a "double measure" to protect the secret ballot with
the tubes being placed in the ballot box?
Any answers on- or off-line appreciated and, as always, pardon the
cross-post.
