The thing that I find shocking about this ballot is that "Candidate Disqualified" appears on the ballot before third-pary candidate A (Constitution Party) and third-pary candidate B (Libertarian Party) and long before President Bush/Republican Party.

If the party affiliations are listed "alphabetically", why is there NO PARTY AFFILIATION listed with 3 of the 5 candidates???

Talk about disenfranchising Bush voters (ANYBODY BUT BUSH appears before his name, "read all the other candidate names and see if you just won't please vote for someone other than Bush").

Because the Republicrats have succeeded in making the two-party system so entrenched that any other party is considered just "Other"... :-(

Personally, I like New York's system, wherein there are more parties, but "third" parties often endorse the candidates of major parties... so a liberal can vote for Kerry under "Liberal" party to show appreciation for how leftist Kerry has been, for example, instead of just pulling the Dem lever for him. (And if a RINO runs, as another example, the Conservative Party can run a separate candidate.)
