This is a very reasonable request. Unfortunately this will will require a change in the AccuVote-OS firmware to support this new functionality.
We will see what can be done to get this completed by May 1, 2002.

> Requested on behalf of Puert o Rico. In addition to having the AccuVote sort out Blanks and Write-In's, t hey would like to have the AccuVote sort out Over Votes, and Challenged Voters. They do not want to have the AccuVote rejecting any ballots, because they do not want to jeopardize the secrecy of the ballot and voter. All Blanks, Over Votes, Challenged, and Write-In's need to be sorted, and then the Election Commission will look at all these ballots and manually adjust the vote totals.
> Ability to Sort out;
> 1. Blanks = En Blanco
> 2. Over votes = No Adjudicado
> 3. Challenged * = No Adjudicado
> 4. Write In = Otros
> *Note: The function of Challenged was incorporated for PR on firmware 194X in the past where if the oval for challenged is marked in the back of the ballot what ever was marked in the front race was not read and the ballot was sorted out.
