"The day before the election, all candidates with any budget at all will run advertisements emphasizing their ballot positions – ''Vote for John Smith on line 72.'' "

Another weird thing in this election is that the positions of the candidates on the ballots will be different in each of the counties, so state wide ads won't work either.

I'm not talking about statewide ads. It will have to be ads in local papers (an organizational nightmare). And the voter instruction cards will have to be different for each Assembly district, which is the basis on which the names will be rotated on the ballot.

That's my point. The very difficulty of the ballot process will drive the vote totals of all but the most organized candidates, down to near zero.
