How does this clarify Ken's point of distinguishing between the race vs. the candidate? Since the user can set the keypad options in two ways (next candidate or next race), it seems that if the flag is set for using the "jump to next race" option, the it should be consistent. Wouldn't your approach confuse this? This seems to make it unclear whether you are advancing to next race or next candidate (especially if GEMS is forcing you to listen to all candidates).

> LA’s VIBS user group has requested it changed to “To advance to the next selection, press 5” if the race type is an issue. Still need it by September 15, 2002.

> Indeed, this has come up before. Problem is that no one has come up with good verbiage, and this suggestion doesn’t qualify. YES and NO are not issues. It is the race that is the issue, not the “candidates”. Saying “advance to the next issue” would mean advancing to the next race. Candidate may not be the best word, but it does at least make clear where the voter is going.

> Regardless of whether the race is a candidate type or an issue/question type, the AccuVote-TS say “You have chosen to vote for YES……….To advance to the next candidate, press 5”. Request to have it change to “To advance to the next issue, press 5” if the race type is an issue.
