I think there is a bug here that might help a bit. In the TSText
directory, there is a file RVD_NoVotesRecordButtonText.rtf. It is supposed
to say "Cast Blank Ballot".
It instead says “Cast Ballot”. If we make it say the right thing, then
at least the user would be making a pretty obvious choice when pressing the
button. The most recent cast blank ballot text should look like: ATTENTION You are about to cast a
BLANK BALLOT, which means you have not voted a candidate or Issue. Touch
Review Ballot to go back to vote OR
Touch Cast [Blank] Ballot to vote a blank ballot (the [Blank] part is my edit). This seems to be pretty big/obvious from here.
Is this what they are seeing on the screen? The VIBS warning is a good point.
It is a trivial change, notwithstanding the fact that I don’t know
who is responsible for recording the new audio. We’ll include this in 4.4.1. Ken -----Original Message----- The State of Maryland would like the warning text for a blank ballot to
be larger and also the audio to give a warning of a pending blank ballot. Maybe a blank ballot warning should be a full page warning and require
voter action to cast the ballot. Keith Long Maryland Project Manager keithl@dieboldes.com 615-828-4106 http://www.mdvotes.org/ |
