title. In VTS, the second line is normally used for specifying
the number to vote for while GEMS doesn't seem to use it at
present. Some options:
No, what GEMS does is split the race text at a word
boundary into two lines if it is longer than 24 chars.
2) Race#/Colon/MidTruncatedName -
"16:UNITED..NATOR".
This one I understand and prefer.
4) Race#/Colon/InitialsMidTruncatedName -
"37:S S 7TH DIST" for STATE SENATOR- 7TH DIST.
This
one I don't follow though. What the rules for initials and mid
truncation? What gets printed for "For the office of the
president and vice president" and
"This-Is-A-Strange-Race-Label"? Anyway, if you can come up
with some rules that generate something more legible than option 2, I am all
for it.
One other possibility is to blink between 2 or more
displays.
I
think blinking would be too ugly to consider. The other possibility
would be to do a "tractor" display that scrolls the text back and
forth (ever use WinAmp?).
