FL ballot

Just got my FL ballot in the mail. It looks different. The candidates names are listed starting with trump/Vance, then Harris/Walz, then the senate race, etc. The candidates names are just listed down the line with no special demarcation as to the party. Yes, it states Rep./Dem. Opposite the name but they all run together. Maybe I am wrong, but this ballot from Hernando County looks a little confusing. Intelligent people should have no problem, but low information voters that are not paying attention could easily get confused. I know what I am talking about because I was an assistant precinct coordinator here from 2008-2016 and I have seen plenty of voters pass through the voting booth who do not know exactly what they are doing. That’s what I have seen previously and I live in a red county. Don’t even get me started on Amendment 4, the abortion ban. The way it is worded is confusing and long-winded. Says nothing about the 6 week ban. It mentions that this may result in more cost to the state, fewer live births, etc. and all the bad results that could happen. Very misleading. I have to keep reminding myself to vote “yes” because one could get confused very easily. I think that is what they count on……..No, I KNOW that is what they count on.
