Controversial Overvote Screen on the ES&S DS200
Comment from an observer at the public demonstration:
"I am appalled that the ESS tabulator will so easily allow overvotes - which of course are then invalidated. If they hit accept, it is tabulated - they don't even get a message saying "are you sure?". I don't think the voter is even told that if they hit accept their vote for that race(s) will not be counted.
"I have never known any voter who has deliberately voted for two people in
the same race in order to vote for no candidate in that race (the
vendor's excuse for allowing overvotes), but this seems contrary to the
law. If it is not legal to vote for more than one candidate why would the
equipment allow the voter to do so?"
See detailed report from Florida on this overvoting "feature". http://www.floridafairelections.org/documents/Invalid_Vote_Report_Revised_23June2009.pdf The above report is based upon data from the Florida Secretary of State. This consists of a report from the SOS, and an Excel file with the raw data.
