I doubt this would be a major recertification effort, but Wyle Labs
would have to be informed. It will
not be a big deal in any state, except the possibility of Florida, but they to
should accept a change like this with a letter explaining the change. Larry J. Dix Vice President of Operations Global Election Systems -----Original

anyone who thinks they would have to "recertify" because we changed
the color of the yes / no button? -----

Button Color Change on AccuVote-OS I think
our only other choices were green and red. These were considered to be
party colors by the state certification boards in the early nineties.
Different colors for the Yes/No buttons has been tried in the past but always
. Perhaps we should try it again. Or perhaps we should make up an
injection mold tool that creates these buttons in our own choice of
color. But first, when I return to McKinney in the new year, I'll inquire
on costs and lead times with the vendor on getting a non-standard color
(say white). On
certification issues, you'll have to get your answers from Larry Dix. Do
we really want to "push" (pardon the pun) a new button color
through every state board? Do we really want to have a new flavor of
AV-OS (with White buttons)? On the
buttons "not working well anymore", please submit a report to Barney
Lucas describing the problem in detail. Copy me. Also send
the previous submissions to me regarding this problem. Ian -----

Color Change on AccuVote-OS For years I
have also requested a color differentiation on the AccuVote-OS "yes/no"
buttons, so the pollworkers could see them. A black button on a
black background is very difficult to locate for many pollworkers. Now
that the buttons no longer extend beyond the front vertical plane of the unit,
it is all the more difficult. (In fact, these buttons don't seem to
work well at all anymore). This request has been submitted on several
occasions. |
