Re: My research about how people in LIS see ID

Caroline
I'm sorry. I must have been having a senior moment, because I had  
seen your Ballot Papers posts in February -- and completely forgotten  
about them! They are still sitting in my Inbox.

Liz
Thanks for sending the other links.

This may be a political rather than a design point but I can't help  
feeling that the SNP must have benefited from getting its name on the  
list part of the ballot changed to "Alex Salmond for First Minister".  
Would it have done the same if he had been called Zack or Zoe?

best wishes

Charles
