I didn't have time to get this critiqued so this is one of two.
for those who may not know what backballing is:
The favoured method of election was by the ballot box, which was a wooden box into which those participating in the election placed a small ball or ballot. A white ball signified support; a black ball signified opposition. The box was usually designed so that observers could not see how the voter was voting; it was all done under cover of the box, or of a combination of a cloth and the box itself, this being the origin of the secret ballot.

A GREAT illo!

wait i just saw this....woah.

Great histroy of the voting process and a nice illustration, but it really feels like it's missing something, perhaps the secret box?
