Re: BallotStationCE-4-1-0-2 Count Test voted VIBS voter card

Why not just have a BIGGGG hand pointing a finger at the voter and flashing YOU! YOU! YOU! and yelling it of course for those visually impaired.

Activate Count Test.  Insert a voted VIBS voter card at the voter card insertion prompt.  The touch screen displays a 'Loading Ballot' message for an extended period of time, and no audio message is played back, indicating that the voter card has already been voted.

 

 

The 4.1.0.2 ballot station is hard coded to VIBS.  The next release will recognize VIBS flagged voter cards.  Voted cards will be rejected as pre usual, without playing audio.

 

There is no such thing as a "voted VIBS voter card".  That concept does not make sense:  the previous voter who voted the card may or may not have been visually impaired.

 

We could play some audio unconditionally for rejected cards.  If the headphones are not plugged in, that would mean everyone in the vote center would hear the message.  I am not sure whether that is a win.  Comments?  I guess it would play the error in English (like the onscreen message) whether the voter understood English or not.  'Course we could ask to voter to select their language before rejecting the card.  Hmmm....
