    Clarification about HEADER type candidates.

    The following are the attributes of HEADER type candidates:
        1) The are printed on the ballot
        2) There are no voting ovals/boxes associated with the candidate
        3) They DO NOT rotate.
        4) They occupy the same space on the ballot as do regular candidates
        5) The are NOT supported on the current BallotStation 3.x.x software
        6) They will be supported on the new BallotStation 4.x.x software and
    will appear in their own box.
        7) The are NOT printed on reports

    Therefore the example Cathi gave is not accurate. In Cathi's example if the
    CANDIDATE type candidates rotated then the HEADER type candidates would be
    under the incorrect 'candidate'.  When associating delegates to a candidate
    they should just be included in the ballot text for the candidate and
    increase the Race's candidate spacing to 2 or 3 as required.

    The place that HEADER candidates are used is for Acclaimed candidates, where
    the jurisdiction wants the candidate 'on the ballot' but votes cannot be
    assigned to the candidates.  The second place that header candidates are
    used is in adding extra information between candidates as in the following
    case:

        RACE 10 - Vote for One
        Candidate 1 - Dem
        Candidate 2 - Rep
        Candidate 3 - Lib
        UNAFFILIATED CANDIDATES
        Candidate 4
        Candidate 5
        Write-In
