I'm not claiming it's a horrible thing, or a fire-able offense... but could that layout contribute to an undervote of a few percent? Absolutely. You wouldn't have to be an absolute numbskull to look at the first column, dismiss it as "the instructions" and just start with the second.

Why are the instructions even on the ballot? The ballot should be clean of other text and the instructions should be separate and posted in each voting booth.
