Subject: Re: R6 Straight Party One Touch
to change vote
Whoa! What is this One Touch selection? This would
cause alot of problems for folks with shaky hands, bracelets that hang from
peoples wrists, and inadvertant touching of other candidates, which occurs a
significant amount of the time. If not noticed at the time, then the
summary page would have to be noticed, but they'll think the machine isn't
correctly recording their vote. I hope this is not part of the general
release for everyone. This is obviously just my take on it, but I'd like
to hear whether this is Pennsylvania only, a selection option, my
misunderstanding of the issue, or what. Thanks.

Subject: R6 Straight Party One Touch to
change vote
On the R6 with a Harris County, TX
ballot, I selected straight party.
It properly marked the party I selected, but when I went into the
ballot, I then could change a
vote by simply touching a candidate of a different party. The point I am making is that I did
not have to touch the “Red X’ to remove the vote before I selected a vote
for another candidate. This
sounds like a requirement that Pennsylvania had in changing a vote with “One
Touch”.
