No, I've gotten no responce from them but that's not to say it's a
waste of time to ask.  I encourage everyone to go to
"http://www.serveusa.gov/public/aca.aspx", click on the "Contact Us"
link in the lower left corner of the page and ask why Windows is a
requirement if one wants to use their electronic voting system.  By
the way, I can't give a direct link for "Contact Us" because it points
to some Javascript code.  I can't think of a good reason to code a Web
site that way if the authors care at all about maintaining browser
compatibility including for non-graphical browsers.  I suspect if they
decide to answer my questions about exclusion of non-Windows operating
systems, that the answer will be a convoluted one.
