It's user interface design

On: Statistics, Elections, Frustration

If you believe what some people are saying, then thousands of Floridians were confused by the layout of the ballot. I can see how some people down there might get confused by the ballots. And apparently the little arrows on the ballot don't always line up with the little holes you're supposed to punch, which makes it more confusing.

So it looks like this might be the first presidential election in which user interface design is a critical factor.
