@civicdesign @whitneyq So! I tweeted all this from my personal account because, right now, I have more followers than my company account.

Please follow @civicdesign to stay current design in elections and government, generally.

+dozens of volunteers
+hundreds(?) of election officials

OH OH OH OH could not have done any of it without our excellent partners at @oxidedesign! They have made us look good for years and @drewoxide headed the first work on ballot design guidelines.
