Is an 8.5 x 11 sign large enough? Oh nooooooooooooooo!

The NC State Board of Elections wants your feedback on signage. It is your patriotic duty as Americans to provide it!

If we might be so bold as to paraphrase, the signage rule basically says the following:
During the period when one-stop and mail-in absentee ballot requests overlap, there will be signage in each polling place notifying voters that a mail-in absentee ballot can be requested on-site, and that mail-in absentee voting does not require photo ID (with some exceptions for some newly registered voters.)

Signs must be:
  1. at the entrance to each polling site;
  2. also at the approach to each sign-in table;
  3. at least 8.5 x 11
  4. at least 28 pt font for man notification regarding absentee-ballots available on-site;
  5. at least 14 pt font font for notification regarding exceptions for some newly registered voters;
  6. designed by NCSBE, or designed by county boards according to NCSBE standards.
8.5 by 11 seems small. Signs affecting suffrage should be larger than dog toys. And there should be more of them.

Are these proposed rules adequate?

Oh nooooooooooooooo!

Do your patriotic duty and let the State Board of Elections know you want bigger signs, and more of them.
