RE: Ballot Station 4-3-9 audio ballot write-in definition/0 key



You are correct.  Here is the protracted discussion (laziness overcome).   Cancel write-in went from 0 (zero) in 4.1.7 to * (asterisk) in 4.1.8.  This after a brief stop at 5 (five) during the 4.1.7-8 prereleases.


There was also a problem in 4.1.8 where 0 would still cancel.  This was fixed in 4.1.9.

 

Looking at 4.3, it appears that this behavior was not merged forward correctly.  This is fixed and will be in 4.3.10.

True, this has been discussed before in the context of the Florida VIBS Certification in rcr and in bugtrack a good bit.

 

I thought the VIBS Write In Cancel had been changed to use the asterisk “ * ” key. Isn’t this key available on the Genovation and other keypads?

I think there was a protracted discussion of this on the bugtrack list some time ago (too lazy to find the ref).  The bottom line was that there were/are a bunch of accounting keypads (Genovation) in the field, so there was no separate key available to use as you suggest.  At the time I asked Piper and Hallmark whether they were being recalled, but received no answer.  I was in the Solution Center at Diebold North Canton this week, and indeed they had a Genovation sitting there.  Once these keypads are recalled, we can re-implement this to use the # key.

A character is accepted on the write-in ballot by pressing 0, yet write-in candidate name entry is cancelled by pressing 0.  Could we use separate keys for character acceptance and write-in entry cancellation?
