Attached are the modified 1033 TSText files. These will appear in the 1.18.10 TSText release. It has the “Cast Blank Ballot” change, and the color consistency changes requested by Rob.

The only thing that I ask is that we maintain consistent colors...if the cast ballot button is green, then the instructions should be green.

> 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.

> Touch Review Ballot to go back to vote

> Touch Cast [Blank] Ballot to vote a blank ballot
