Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

How?

Who do you think is going to read your blank ballot?

My constituency has 250,000+ people in it.

Do you REALLY think that someone is going to sift through over two hundred and fifty THOUSAND ballots, find one that has "abstain" on it and go "oh -- we must find this person and find out why they are upset with the process"?

Also -- not to put too fine a point on it -- voting is supposed to be anonymous. If I write "abstain" on my ballot and they track me down, isn't that FAR more worrying?

When my mum got called for election-office duty, she found some ballots with crap in it.
