Pew report on the status of paper in voting systems

Interesting new report titled "Back to Paper: A Case Study" was released by Pew ElectionLine.org on the history and current state of paper ballots for elections, focusing on Florida, California, Ohio, and Colorado. It's reasonably well balanced, although there are definitely things I disagree with.

One of the really awful things about the report, though, is this horrendous picture found on page 17. I'm no User Interface specialist, but a map with three shades of blue (and relatively similar shades at that) seems more designed to confuse than enlighten.
