    This is the correct recommendation since 1.18.4 is the first release to
    support cross endorsement.

    Okay, it sounds like they should be using "fixed" and "col" in the race
    layout options.  Cathy, you might contact Greg to train you on how to do
    this.  He is as close to an expert on the topic as we got.

    Uh huh.  It looks like "push" is going to be pretty prevalent for cross
    endorsed accounts.  Greg, can you confirm that in NY they wanted the same
    thing, only the higher party not the lower?  Cathy, how does CT rotate
    ballots (if at all)?

    The short answer to "if possible" is "not right now".  This would require a
    firmware change, and I don't know that this would be possible if they are
    short on time, nor whether it could be done w/o disturbing the certification
    gnomes.

    Lay out the ballot in GEMS and send the postscript to the print shop.  The
    printer doesn't have to typeset anything.
