 This is the first of many, many items that will 
be posted as a result of inquiries from GBS.  Bear in mind their lead 
ballot layout person is entirely enamored with VTS and expects GEMS to do 
everything that VTS did. 
Is there a way to give a candidate an 
endorsement and have the name, not just the label, appear on the ballot?  I 
realize it can be done textually in the candidate info which appears on the 
ballot, but some places have a legal requirement to put the full party name on 
the ballot and have the candidate be listed as endorsed by the system (without 
also listing the party code).
