That all
looks good to me. I just hope that
the actual voters in PA are as stupid as the people giving us this information
on how to vote, so they are not confused. Thanks. Jeff Hintz Global Election Systems -----Original
Message----- I spoke with
Bob Diekman and this is what we have come up with. Let me know if this sounds good to you. I assure you, none of this sounds good to
me. Okay, here is the final behavior. ·
Overvoting a race clears all candidates in that
race except for that candidate being voted. ·
Voting for a candidate that is already voted in
a race clears all candidates in the race, including that candidate. ·
Once any candidate in a race has been touched,
that race can no longer be controlled by a straight party race. I use the term "touch" rather
than "crossover" deliberately.
It does not matter whether the race was touched in order to select or
deselect a candidate, nor the party of the candidate being (de)selected. Once touched, straight party votes will
not be applied to the race even if the straight party votes could have been
applied without causing an overvote. ·
If a race has never been touched, the first
touch in that race clears all straight party votes before that candidate is
selected. I am fairly convinced at this point that
this whole exercise has little to do with Pennsylvania electoral legislation,
but let me know if any of the above needs correction. Ken |
