I spoke with Bob Diekman and this is what we have come up with. Let me know if this sounds good to you.
In the case of a race that is more
than a vote for one, if a voter deselects a candidate this would erase the vote
for that candidate and all candidates, just as if it were a vote for one. Remember that if the voter went and
crossed over, that by touching a different candidate would give the vote to
that candidate and erase all other votes. So by deselecting a candidate in a race that is more that a
vote for one, this would not only remove the vote for that candidate, but would
erase all votes, leaving the race blank, and requiring the voter to make all
new choices. Jeff Hintz Global Election Systems -----Original

absolutely right. The only way to
make it work, would be to have the ability to deselect the candidate. I would think we would want the
deselection function to still work as before, but if you touch a different
candidate, that would erase all other votes and select that candidate. Right.
Thas was my assumption. This brings me back to my original (unanswered)
question however: Dog
Catcher race, vote for three. Two republicans: bob and sue.
Three democrats: john, dave, and bill. One independent:
jane. Voter
votes for republican straight party. This selects bob and sue for dog
catcher. Next they click on sue. I assume that deselects sue's
vote. Finally the voter clicks on the republican straight party
candidate again. I assume that deselects
republican. What happens to the dog catcher race? Ken |
