Election

In honor of the upcoming presidential and general elections in the United States, presented here is a collection of specialized pencils for marking ballots.  All of them have (or had) a means of being attached to a voting booth — either a built-in string, or a ring or hole for attaching a string.  Several have indelible leads, although they don’t say so.

Some of these special pencils came into my possession after being literally ripped off.  I personally would never do such a thing.
