Again, according
to Bob Diekman, after talking with the people in PA, here is their
response. Voting before touching Straight
Party: A voter can begin voting
the any of the races before they vote the Straight Party race. Then at any time they can vote the
Straight Party race, which will complete the ballot by voting for the rest of
the candidates & races that apply to the Straight Party race. The preference being given to the
individual selection over the Straight Party race. So, if a voter touches a candidate in an individual race,
whether it is a vote for one or vote for more than one, that candidate will
stay lighted and no other candidates will be voted for until you vote for the
remaining candidates in that race. Jeff Hintz Global Election Systems -----Original
Message----- I need
a clarification on the behavior here. Consider two races: Straight party race: democrat and
republican. Dog Catcher race, vote for three.
Two republicans: bob and sue. Three democrats: john, dave,
and bill. One independent: jane. Voter
votes for jane first, not touching the straight party race. Next
they vote republican in the straight party race. What happens to the
Dog Catcher race? Ken |
