I think there is a bug here that might help a bit. In the TSText directory, there is a file RVD_NoVotesRecordButtonText.rtf. It is supposed to say "Cast Blank Ballot". It instead says “Cast Ballot”. If we make it say the right thing, then at least the user would be making a pretty obvious choice when pressing the button. The most recent cast blank ballot text should look like: ATTENTION You are about to cast a BLANK BALLOT, which means you have not voted a candidate or Issue. Touch Review Ballot to go back to vote # OR Touch Cast [Blank] Ballot to vote a blank ballot (the [Blank] part is my edit). This seems to be pretty big/obvious from here. Is this what they are seeing on the screen? The VIBS warning is a good point. It is a trivial change, notwithstanding the fact that I don’t know who is responsible for recording the new audio. We’ll include this in 4.4.1.

Maybe a blank ballot warning should be a full page warning and require voter action to cast the ballot. Keith Long Maryland Project Manager keithl@dieboldes.com 615-828-4106 http://www.mdvotes.org/
