AccuVote firmware mod requirement
The request is to allow a
challenged vote on a paper ballot.
The November 6th
election is only one race in the front of the ballot. The request is for two ovals on the back of the ballot for
two (2) additional conditions. The
rear left oval condition is for an official challenge vote when an election
official or poll worker wishes to vote outside of their designated voting location. On this condition the ballot should be
taken but not counted. It should
be sorted out as if it was a blank or over vote ballot. Accountability for this condition
should be counted as a not adjudicated challenged ballot.
The second condition is for
a voter changed ballot; under this condition the oval has no function other
than an indication of this fact on the ballot with no action required by the
Accuvote, the ballot is treated as a normal ballot.
Once the official challenged
ballots are gathered after the election ends during recount these may be added
in by hand if the commission accepts them as valid ballots.
Important is to report the
blanks , over votes and challenged ballots in addition to two conditions of the
actual election.
I am enclosing the actual
database with ballot for your information.
