The Straight party voting for the AVTS unit works
as follows:
There are tow methods of
processing straight party votes. 1) is the "default" method and 2) is the
"PAStraight Party" option (explicit).
1) works as
follows:
When you
select a party in a straight party race it first clears all votes in
endorsed races and then selects those candidates that match the party. If
the result if a fully voted race then all the other candidates are
disabled. You can then go and deselect the voted candidate and select
another.
2) works the same except that if
you have already voted for any candidate in an endorsed race the straight party
vote is not applied to that race.

to change vote
Nel: Isn't this normal for a straight party race, and reflects
what is done on an OS unit. You can vote straight party and any opposing
(other party) candidates in a particular race. does it then count as the
accuvote does - all straight party votes are counted unless there is a
different selection in a particular race?
Thanks: Don B

As an
elaboration on this, the straight party choice effects the selection of all
candidates endorsed by the straight party selected, however, the voting
areas next to each candidate are not disabled with the straight party
selection. As a result, it is possible to select alternate candidates
without disabling the initial straight party choice, but once the alternate
candidate is selected in a race, all voting areas in the race are disabled
(provided the number of candidates selected is equal to the number to vote
for). Nel

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”.
