Reply #2: you mean, to warn voters of undervotes? [View All]

Some folks would say it's a bad idea to enable undervote warnings on precinct-based optical scanners because down-ticket, probably most undervotes are intentional -- and if you force people to review intentional undervotes, they may start voting for candidates at random just to save the trouble. I'm not convinced by that argument, but it does raise some questions that I don't know the answers to. Can you comment on the experiences of some WA jurisdictions that use undervote warnings on PBOS? (A routine review of undervotes on central-count op-scan would be excellent.)

On the audit front, of course, audits are a best practice. It's too bad that an election official would portray them as a concession to the insecure.
