(NYC) Voters Annoyed by Hard-to-Read Ballots

Some states want their voters to take ID cards to the polls.

In New York City, you may want to bring a magnifying glass.

Voters who trekked to the polls for Thursday’s primary races were handed ballots with candidates’ names printed in an eye-straining 7-point type, akin to the ingredient list on the side of a cereal box.

Now the city Board of Elections is facing outsize criticism over the mite-size font. Civic groups and lawmakers are calling for reform. And some voters are wondering why the instructions on the ballot were displayed in larger and clearer typefaces than the names of the candidates and the offices they were running for.

Uh oh, did the New York Times just give people like Ohio Sec. of St. Jon Husted new ideas? Make the fonts so small that the elderly people who now don't need those damn voter ID cards just walk out of the voting place annoyed!
