There are two major factors that cause routine poor ballot design in Florida. The first is the FEDERALLY mandated two or three language ballots, English, Spanish and some places Haitian Creole. The second are the Constitutional Questions, some from petitions, some from the Legislature and some from the Constitutional Review Commission. There are many that get past the Florida Supreme Court. Most are useless wastes of ink and trees.l

Someone posted a picture that was deleted, but the 2018 Broward ballot is nearly identical in layout and design to ballots in my county and state where there was no ‘confusion’.

This is a bunch of BS. I don’t care how the ballot is designed. They send you a damn sample ballot to study weeks before the primaries and then again before the general. If you can’t figure it out on Election Day, you’re too stupid to vote.

The democRATS don't run Florida.

Scott's been governor and he's Republican. RINO Rubio is the other Senator.

And Republican DeSantis for governor, looks to beat the democRAT Gillum guy who lost, conceded, then unconceded and very soon will have to concede again. Or do what that democRAT gal who lost to Republican Kemp in the governor's race in Georgia wants to do and that's to sue for a do-over election. These people must think they're still in middle school or something. Do-over? WTF?!

democRATS run the election vote counting mechanisms in Broward, Miami and some others. So unless the ballots are designed by each county, which I doubt, then they were done at the state level. Run by Republicans.

Those cunning Republicans. Design the ballot so Nelson wouldn't win. Yeah, riiiight.
