An election is created with two report precincts,
one in district 10 and the other in district 20, as well as three partisan
voter groups. Three races are defined:
- a jurisdiction wide preference race with three
voter groups
- a non-endorsed, non-preferential candidacy held
in district 10 with three non-endorsed candidates
- a
jurisdiction-wide, non-endorsed, non-preferential question
Two ballot styles are created, one with the
preference race and question and the other with the preference race, candidacy
and question. Neither the candidacy or question are partisan, and yet
the preference race occurs on both ballot styles.
I
should have read this one before posting on the endorsement section. Both
can be rephrased as:
Controlling races (endorsement, preference, and
probably recall) should be excluded from those ballots that have no races that
can use them.
Perhaps when we find an election that could use
it. We actually have a similar problem. Controlling races should
appear multiple times in the case that a set of controlled races spans multiple
cards.
