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.
