RE: touch screen



I thought the thick red ovals were introduced to the Accu Vote OS ballot because red (certain types or red as mentioned in the Ballot Specs) was a color that could not be read by the visible light reader in the AccuVote-OS.

Some comments I have on the attached document:
  1. Thick red ovals were promoted on AccuVote-OS ballots because red was apparently a highly visible color to visually impaired voters - now we are hearing the opposite.
  2. Races are in fact identified every time they are referred to on the audio ballot.  If no action is taken with respect to a current candidate, race text playback is repeated.
  3. How could the card reader be 'better identified' to someone who is blind?
  4. What do you mean by the candidates being numbered on the voice instructions?
  5. Note that the function of the 2 and 8 keys is dissimilar from the 4 and 6 keys.  2 and 8 are activated only if the Race Keys check box is selected in AccuVote-TS Options in GEMS, and allow the operator to immediately skip to the prior race or advance to the next race, without enumerating candidates to the beginning or the end of the candidate list, respectively.
  6. Magnify should always be available as an option, with or without the audio ballot.
