Really? I'm not sure what you think would be a better design than organizing the individuals by their party affiliation - having it this way makes it easier for people to find the candidate they're looking for.

Yes, we should always make it as easy as possible for people to vote in the way they want. As soon as you start saying you should not make party affiliation (or non-afffiliation) clear, you are deliberately trying to make it harder for people to have their voices heard.

our county ballots are laid out more like an outline with the office as the header and all the candidates for the office under it with their party affiliation. Requires conscious effort to vote for a candidate for office.
