I
thought the thick red ovals were introduced to the Accu Vote OS ballot because
red (certain types or red as mentioned in the Ballot Specs) was a color that
could not be read by the visible light reader in the
AccuVote-OS.
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.
