The more I see of the mistakes that are still made, the less
preposterous the last sentence becomes.

The draft ballot was posted to this list earlier; all
this simple additions were not caught and proposed by anyone.
Huh. Looking at the ballot:
,----
| ...
| Do not erase anything between the lines below and do not change the
| choice names.
| ...
| In the brackets next to your preferred choice, place a 1. Place a 2 in
| the brackets next to your next choice. Continue till you reach your
| last choice. Do not enter a number smaller than 1 or larger than 4.
| You may skip numbers. You may rank options equally (as long as all
| choices X you make fall in the range 1 <= X <= 4).
| ...
| Then mail the ballot to: leader2008@vote.debian.org.

| stuff.

It also fails to say how you can type in a 1, and a 2, and a
3. Or how to use a mail program.
It also fails to tell one that one should power on a computer as
well, and that one needs to set up a MTA.
what a sorry excuse for a ballot.
