In hindsight, I should have bolded the "2/3rds" part.
In complete seriousness? Given that roughly one voter in three in that line was, at best, functionally illiterate (demonstrated by the conversations in the line, the number of people that my wife & I had to help fill out their little slip you hand over to the person to move through the line, and the steady stream of people getting helpers to go behind the curtain with them) I'd say there's a very good chance that at least a quarter of them couldn't have spelled vote unless you spotted them the "e".
DT, it had been a long while since I'd seen anyone actually "make their mark" instead of signing their name. I saw it more than once that day.
