When I was a girl, years ago, I lived in the back woods and there the number of votes cast at each election depended entirely up

on the size of the ballot box. We had what was known as the old-tissue ballots and the man who got the most tissue in was the man elected. Now the best part of our community was very much disturbed by this method, and they did not know what to do in order to get a ballot both safe and secret; but they heard that over in Australia, where the women voted, they had a ballot which was both safe and secret, so we went over there and we got the Australian ballot and we brought it here.

Answer:

It is in the last sentence (albeit very long).

Explanation:

This is becasue an anecdote is supposed to be a hilarious and weird plot or story, right? And if you see carefully, taking away somebody else's ballot in order to make it safer is quite out of the ordinary.

Hope this helps. ;)
