Larry J. Dix Global Election Systems (972)-542-6000 -----Original Message----- LARRY, WE(LHS) PLAN ON STARTING THE
CERTIFCATION PROCESS IN MASSACHUSETTS IN EARLY JANUARY. WE HAVE DEMO'D THE
SYSTEM TO THE SECRECTARY OF STATE'S OFFICE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD WE CANNOT BEGIN
THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS UNTIL THE WRITE IN SCREEN HAS THE ABILITY TO ENTER A
STREET NUMBER AND NAME. THEREFORE, THIS IS A REQUEST TO MODIGY
THE SOFTWARE TO DISPLAY A NUMBER PAD AS WELL AS A KEYBOARD FOR WRITE-INS. WE ARE GOING HEAD TO HEAD IN BOSTON WITH
ESS AND WOULD LIKE TO GET A JUMP ON THEM BY HAVING SOME (2) OF OUR CUSTOMERS IN
MASSACHUSETTS RUN TEST ELECTIONS IN THE APRIL-MAY TIME FRAME. ALSO THE CITY OF CAMBRIDGE MASS. IS
EXTREMELY INTERESTED IN THE TOUCH SCREEN, BUT IT MUST BE ABLE TO PROCESS
PREFERENTAIL VOTING, CAN THIS CHANGE BE ACCOMPLISHED SOME TIME NEXT YEAR. PLEASE RESPOND IF YOU FORSEE ANY
PROBLEMS. THANKS. JOHN SILVESTRO |
