Subject: RE: [election-services] OASIS Demo for NASS / NASED


Craig,

I prefer real ballots rather than made up ones - because from experience this is what election officials here in US want to see - their actual ballots.

These real ballots are definately ones people will want to do themselves - such as California Governors election - New York Senate election, and so on - that they've read about - but would not normally get a chance to vote in themselves.

However before we get to this level of detail I think it would be very useful to agree the objectives of the proposed Demo to focus our minds on what we are trying to achieve before we descend into the weeds.  Below are my thoughts, not in any particular order of importance, and I'd welcome agreement or otherwise on these please.
