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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tari Runyan To: rcr@dieboldes.com Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 3:03 PM Subject: Re: RCR a "placeholder" for candidates with no designation 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? ----- Original Message ----- From: Tari Runyan To: rcr@dieboldes.com Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 3:33 PM Subject: Re: RCR a "placeholder" for candidates with no designation I will do it - thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Clark To: rcr@dieboldes.com Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 4:01 PM Subject: RE: RCR a "placeholder" for candidates with no designation 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.

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.
