Re: RCR a "placeholder" for candidates with no designation

Tari, thanks for posting that "size" difference on the ballot sample.  I've been wondering if its just perception, but apparently not.  That is an issue that could lead to legal issues for a county.  Hopefully it can be resolved.

Here is a screen shot - March Fong Eu is same font size as others but no designation to adjust candidates -   you have to put a carriage return after his name to make it squish up and look like the others - they don't want to do that
can we make a standard 2 line candidate "Placeholder" so that regardless of the amount of text the spacing is the same for each?

It’s pretty clear, but could you post a couple of screen shots or ballot PDFs that demonstrate the “sometimes looks a slight but larger” problem.  There might be something fundamental that is causing that that we should just fix, or there might be an easy workaround for the problem.

I will give you the exact request as they gave it to me and if you need clarification I will do my best:

 

Julie (San Luis Obispo) and I (Suzanne Post) were wondering if there would be some way of your programmers
creating what would equate to a "place holder" for
those candidates with no designation. It always
seems to create a problem for a number of counties
when there is no designation. Even when the space
is removed the name sometimes looks a slight bit
larger. If they could come up with something like
a place holder that would not appear when printed
but would take the same space as the designation
it would sure make it a lot easier for all of us
when the situation of no designation occurs as it
often does.
