Shouldn't the Presidential Election be on a separate ballot than other more local elections?

It's your choice not to get involved with your community and become aware of its issues and candidates, but the ballot designers shouldn't *encourage* that type of local apathy. They should keep the national and local connected so people remember that there's more to an election than the big stuff. You're free to ignore the little stuff if you don't care about it, but the designers should try to discourage you from ignoring it.

edit: I don't think there's such thing as a standard ballot. Every state has its own way of doing it. I've never seen anything on a ballot that suggested I had to fill out the whole thing to make it valid.

Why do you assume that most people don't fill out or care about the rest of the ballot but you do? Pretty snotty attitude, I think.
