page 65 note 1 The only similar proposal of which the writer has heard was one embodied in a bill submitted to the New York legislature in 1905 by the Election Laws Improvement Association of New York City. This bill, which was never very seriously considered by the legislature, provided for a ballot of the “Massachusetts” form, but divided by lines of perforation into as many detachable coupons as there were officers to be voted for—each “office group” being printed on a separate coupon. The ballot was to be marked and voted in the usual way, but in counting the vote the election officers were to detach the several coupons and count them separately, the general object being to prevent any mark or mutilation on one part of the ballot from rendering void, or voidable, any of the other portions thereof.
