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.

Warning
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.
