>If you don't fill out the ballot entirely they throw it out.
Wrong.

>If you put the person you are voting for in all slots they throw it out.
Like, inappropriately? Yeah, if you can't figure out how to fill out a ballot, it should be thrown in the garbage and you should be banned from voting due to cognitive incompetence.

>If you leave off the name of people from the party you don't want they throw it out.
What the fuck are you talking about? It's a pre-populated ballot. Unless you're doing a write-in, you don't 'fill in' anyone's name.

>a month or so later they tell you who won.
This is a choice, pushed for and supported by retards and luddites. See: Alabama--you can only vote there on election day which creates a massive arbitrary bottleneck of multi-hour lines. This is a choice, not a requirement.
