 Steve, the touch 
screen firmware logic is designed this way, in another words, the straight party 
choice overrides any prior explicit candidate choices.  In order to 
implement a non-overriding straight party choice, configure the election with 
Pennsylvania Straight Party Voting in the AccuVote-TS Options in 
GEMS.

  Subject: R6 straight party override 
 
  
 
 
  Present R6 operation under ballot station 4.0.1.0 
  loaded by GEMS 1-17-12: Votes are cast in partisan races. Voter then 
  casts a straight party vote. All offices are now overridden by the straight 
  party vote including write-ins.
  Proper operation: Changing the 
  straight party vote should not override a given office after an exception 
  as been made in a that office. In other words, only offices that had no 
  exception voting should be overridden by a change of the straight party 
  vote.
