If there are any other ideas, please
feel free to comment. I've already got dibs on the "design a new
optical scan system" idea. So come up with something else more
creative. Since we have accepted colour, the most important person in
the process is the guy who puts the ink on the press. Should a warning be
put on the separate ovals file to only use 032 red and 130 orange. I did
have a customer use 038 red and some of the Accu-Votes picked up the slightly
darker (blacker) and thicker red ovals as undefined marks.
If you go that far, then why not print the whole ballot specification on all ballot proofs? Then the whole message (not just part of the message) will get to "the guy who puts the ink on the ballot". We should cover our butts!
