My mom lives in a seniors' home. Now that she's received her special ballot package, she has been telling other seniors about how many questions there are, etc. They didn't believe her so she brought out her 10 ballots to show them. The reaction ranged from astonishment, to anger to bewilderment. They had previously questioned her as to why she even needed a special ballot since they usually have polling station right at her residence building. Try to picture 100 seniors with various mobility issues lining up to fill out 10 ballots that most were unaware of until they showed up on Oct. 19. The only question most had heard about was the one about separation. You can't have direct democracy when people don't even understand the questions, and no one has taken the time to explain them. See my earlier post about the readability of the questions which tests show are written for a post-grad level audience.
