The trick was setting flex-direction to row-reverse, which makes the
option names hug their 1st, 2nd etc while still overflowing nicely and
sitting in the center of the page.
Now that the bug is squashed, I no longer need to pin acid-state to a
specific version (I previously thought it was a bad version, it was
actually storing the StdGen in the DB). Also you can now get a
ballot (though not submit it).
