Comment : | (page scrolling) This is unrealistic. In the recall election for governor in California in 2003, there was an excess of 100 candidates running. Some states require that the entire text of long ballot questions be presented to the voter on the ballot. No voting system whether paper based or electronic could handle such a long list of candidates or long ballot questions without some form of effective scrolling. The guidelines should either remove this requirement or convert it to a “should”. As written this requirement is not representative of real-world situations.
