Caveat Elector

Just to make things a bit more interesting, the candidates in the California Governor election are listed in random order [via Boing Boing - link is to a large-ish JPEG] - and in a different random order in every voting district. While in most elections this would increase the fairness, with 7 pages of candidates it just increases the surreal absurdity and ensures voters will have the maximum difficulty.
