Is there anyone who thinks they would have to "recertify" because we changed the color of the yes / no button?

> I think our only other choices were green and red. These were considered to be party colors by the state certification boards in the early nineties. Different colors for the Yes/No buttons has been tried in the past but always . Perhaps we should try it again. Or perhaps we should make up an injection mold tool that creates these buttons in our own choice of color. But first, when I return to McKinney in the new year, I'll inquire on costs and lead times with the vendor on getting a non-standard color (say white).

A black button on a black background is very difficult to locate for many pollworkers. Now that the buttons no longer extend beyond the front vertical plane of the unit, it is all the more difficult. (In fact, these buttons don't seem to work well at all anymore). This request has been submitted on several occasions.
