If this is acceptable to everyone, we can do it easy enough. My only concern is that without the candidate horizontal line, it is hard to tell that the write-in belongs to the bottom oval. Well, not hard, but the florida butterfly ballot wasn't hard either. We have had problems with getting voters to fill in the oval with write-ins in the past. If anyone has concerns about this change, please speak up, else we can get this into the next release.
