The term "printing" was inappropropriate. We (Frank,
Debra, Myself) were requesting a summary screen display of the Voter choices
above or prior to the cast ballot. The motivation for this is that every
other person who uses the system suggests it, because Sequoia does it, and they
were just at their booth trying their unit. Brad Clark has now
asked for this. This would present the voter with a summary something like
this:
President and Vice President - Al
Gore
U.S. Senate - Diane Feinstein
U.S. Representative 14th District - George
Soros
Berekeley Bond Measure A - YES
Alameda County School Bond -
NO
etc.
The Previous key would then be used to go back and CHANGE a
vote, but not required to reiew the ballot. Believe me that we will need
to do this, either contractually in Alameda or as part of product
development.

There was an RCR submitted by Knecht "AVTS - Voter Summary Page"
regarding printing of a summary page for the voter.
Discussion of that went offline briefly and the request is currently tabled
pending further developments. Hopefully it will die: it is a
terrible idea, deserving of letters to the editor.
As for a summary screen, I don't think there has been a
formal RCR as of yet. I don't really understand the request
myself: voters are welcome to review their ballot, so I don't see the
functionality. If you want to submit it, please include whether this is
required by law, and some motivation for the request. On the technical
side, there is the question of where to get the race titles to put on the
summary screen, and what to do when all races do not fit on one screen.
We'll need suggestions in the RCR for those issues.
