<< Someone suggested a standard return (would each state agree to be like
all the others?!)>>
Doubtful (see below). Also, states hate the Nat'l government telling them
what to do. Even if it is a good idea.
<< As an aside, the point was raised as to why this problem with forms
hasn't arisen before. Perhaps it has but has never been flagged >>
It has been raised. It's what you might call an old trick. Believe me, the
term voting irregularity has been around a long time. Many localities have
well designed single sided ballots. Many do not.
Also, ballots are different for almost every city or county in the US. Urban
areas often have many different ballots even in the same city. Also, rules
vary from state to state. For example, many elective posts, such as school
board etc. in California are prohibited from listing their party affiliation
on the ballot. Other states are very different in that regard. All of these
make it hard to design a "template" that every state would voluntarily
adhere to.
