About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Ballot Design

Re: The complexity of ballots in the United States

This interactive ballot "identifies common design problems" and allows readers to see the alternatives recommended by the United States Election Assistance Commission.

Some of the problems noted include "misleading page design," "complex language" and "confusing images." Presumably these problems are made worse by the number of candidates and issues on most American ballots.
