Ezra Klein and Jon Stewart

Ballot etymology
Courtesy of Merriam Webster on social media:
During the Renaissance, people in Venice would vote by dropping little balls into an urn.
The Italian word for “little ball” is ‘ballotta.’
Now any kind of secret voting, by ball, piece of paper, or voting machine, is called a ‘ballot.’*
