The Return of the 'Butterfly Ballot'

I really can´t fathom why can´t the Yankees all do it just the easiest way. Write the candidate´s number on a ballot and count them by hand and do a recount before the result is made official, like most countries do. And even if they don´t want to do this, all the voters should use the same kind of voting method. But now in a single state there can be many different ways to vote, theoretically the people can use different way to vote in every county. It seems like the US elections are made as confusing and chaotic as possible. Relegating power in a nationally important decisions, like how people vote, to lower levels of administration, isn´t the wisest thing to do. The big bad federal government should govern how people vote.
