The ballot for the state of New York is based on the lever
machine. The rows and columns are labelled similar to a spread
sheet.
The first candidate in the top row is labelled 1A to a
possible 28A and is reserved for the party the elected governor belongs
to. The second row is 1B through to a possible 28B. Candidates
put their cell label on their campaign signs. "Vote for me, 7C".
The ballot layout requires that the cells be labelled.
This currently is not possible when using the current cross endorse feature
because the cross endorsed cells are a copy of the original main
cell.
The New York City ( 5 boroughs) ballot requires cell labelling
in the portrait mode while all the other counties require cell labelling in the
landscape mode for certification.
