Some suggest removing circles entirely to force voters to study each candidate, improving deliberate choice and accountability.

Pair of Em horsemen recall Nebraska trip and political gabs
Amanuel Reed and L. MM, western Nebraska travelers, share two tales from their two week buying spree. One story has Doc and Reed joking with an Irishman about Democrats and Bryan. The other has Reed loudly rebuking a man who defended Bryan, after a merchant sold hats and the horsemen listened to campaign chatter.
