    This is not a condemnation of the voting system, but the obtuse way the ballot forms are presented. I wonder who hamstrings the committees that design the forms….

      I’d have to look at the specific ballots in question. The study I’m thinking of was concerning the NYC mayor election, so it was likely designed by Democrats, but I don’t remember seeing a picture of the actual ballot in the study.
