Bill Galvin blinks

DJDiva is annoyed that the Secretary of State's online form for getting a voter registration form (you can't actually register online) uses the <blink> tag (note: You can only see it in operation with Firefox or, gasp, Netscape; it doesn't do anything in IE):

UGH why why why why? ... Granted they wanted to make it clear that my voter registration update wouldn't be final until I mail in the form. But instead of the irritating blink tag taking away my attention from the action I'm trying to perform, why not use a different color text, like red to call my attention, make the text bold (they did that), and make it a slightly larger font size? ...
