Some comments I
have on the attached document:
- 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.
- 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.
- How could the card
reader be 'better identified' to someone who is blind?
- What do you mean
by the candidates being numbered on the voice
instructions?
- 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.
- Magnify should always be available as an option, with or without the audio
ballot.
