Palm Beach County, Florida was the only county in Florida to produce all of its ballots in large print. The large print design and 10 presidential candidates on the ballot led to the butterfly design, as all of the candidates could not fit on the same page. Whatever happened to magnifiers? Although election officals in Florida had good intentions, when end users, particularly end users with disabilities, are not brought into the design process to determine usability, the results can be quite tragic. An article in the online magazine Salon explores this issue further with some informative links to usability web sites.
