For example at the last presidential election last year there were 11 candidates, so there was a table with (simplifying) a pile of envelopes, 11 piles of papers (one for each candidate). Generally people don't take the whole 12 items with them. You would pick randomly between 2 or 11 papers (depending on your sense of theatrics) and the papers you're left with after the voting booth, in my case I crumble them and throw them in a bin. Crumbled paper can't be counted. Some people keep them in their pockets until they get home.
