I don't know if they will or not, but if they do then there should be some 
things there for us or for anyone for that matter.  
For instance a help mode wherein we can get accustomed to the machine and how 
the buttons are lined up without it actually casting the ballot.
Also, I would think that a read back function would be nice.  I usually have 
to use a commissioner to vote and most of the time, I get them to read back 
to me my selections because once you hit the "cast ballot," button that's the 
end of the voting whether you made a mistake or not.
I had a friend who thought you had to hit that button after every selection 
so she hit it after voting for the President.  Needless to say she was 
surprised to find out that she was finished voting whether she wanted to be 
or not.
