Date
Required: May 1, 2002, Actual
Election date is June
30th, but need to test and have ready by May 20th.
Requested on behalf of Puerto Rico. In addition to having the AccuVote sort out Blanks
and Write-In's, they would like to have the AccuVote sort out Over Votes, and Challenged
Voters. They do not want to have the AccuVote rejecting any
ballots, because they do not want to jeopardize the secrecy of the ballot
and voter. All Blanks, Over Votes, Challenged, and Write-In's need to
be sorted, and then the Election Commission will look at all these ballots
and manually adjust the vote
totals.
Ability
to Sort out;
1. Blanks = En Blanco
2. Over votes = No Adjudicado
3. Challenged * = No Adjudicado
4.
Write In =
Otros
*Note: The function of
Challenged was incorporated for PR on firmware 194X in the past where if the
oval for challenged is marked in the back of the ballot what ever was marked
in the front race was not read and the ballot was sorted
out.
