This is a very interesting edge condition. You can't cast a ballot until you have reached the last candidate of the last race of the ballot. But in this case you are not allowed to vote for the last candidate of the last race. A similar situation can happen if there are no candidates in the last race on the ballot.
Here is the solution. First, if a recall race can not be voted because the recalled race was not voted, we'll give the user a heads-up. "This recall race can not be voted".
Second, if the last race of a ballot has no available candidates to vote, we will play the race header and then tell them they are at the end. "You have reached the end of the ballot. To cast your ballot, press 9. To return to the previous race, press 4."
This will be in 4.1.7 and TSText 1.18.9.

> An election contains a recall and linked recalled race, and is programmed to the BallotStation with 'Race Keys' selected and 'Play All Cands' not selected in GEMS 1-18-8 AccuVote-TS Options.

> An audio ballot is voted, with the recall and recalled races occuring at the end of the ballot. No selection is made in the recall race on the ballot. The recalled race header is played, followed by 'No Votes have been cast in this race. Neither 4 or 9 keys are operational, although they should be.
