    1.  Party Designation on the Instructions and Summary Pages
    One small issue kept the election from being "perfect" in Maryland.  There
    was one legislative district that retained the party designation from the
    Primary, rather than being changed to Non Partisan.  Unfortunately, there is
    no opportunity to catch this in the proofing process, unless you do a manual
    L&A (which is nearly impossible on 2600 units).  The "Test Count" does not
    display the Instruction page.  Is this a change that could be made on the
    front end?

    As a thought
    How about placing the "INSTRUCTIONS" in a header attached to the first race.
    The voter can review as often as necessary and it would be magnified as
    well.  Eliminate most of the text in the TSText instructions.

    a.  Why is the Party designation on the Instruction page and the Summary
    page?  It is in the header of the ballot.

    b.  Why not eliminate the Instructions Page all together?  Post printed
    instructions in the booth.  (This would simplify many issues, such as
    changing TS Text, and hard coded info on this page.)
    c.  The Party designation has to be changed in every district between the
    Primary and the General, leaving many opportunities for failure.  Why not
    have one option that changes them all automatically?
