I imagine it is because they are a person of integrity.

If you are meaning that she should have been more Machiavellian, what she
should have said was "I'm not sure, I was confused by the ballot."  *smirk*

Truthfully, I think my response would have been that my vote, as everyone's,
is confidentential, and will remain so.  That of course would have gotten me
equally denied.  But to me, the biggest reason they should not have asked
was in honor of voter confidentiality.  But since when has their been honor
in politics?

And PS, I have to conflict your "everyone hated Clinton" statement.  Where
on earth did you get this data?!
