The memory cards (32KB) work fine initially (for printing reports and
counting ballots), but at some point (that point in time varies) they
fail to allow the printing of reports, displaying the message "REPORT
FAILURE / PRESS ANY BUTTON". Once you get this message, (even if the
card previously printed reports) the memory card will not print on any AccuVote
again. It will keep repeating the error message above when you attempt to
print zero totals or results totals, in pre-election or in election
mode.
I got a call from Bill Vanderburg
(Adkins). He has experienced this 7 times in 5 different accounts in
Mossouri. Back in October/November last year and as recent as
today.
He has experienced this with Absentee
memory cards downloaded from VTS 1.92 and with Absentee and Precinct Memory
Cards downloaded from GEMS 1.11.9.
If you duplicate the card, the error
follows the duplicate.
They had not experienced this problem
before changing the AccuVotes in their accounts to 1.94w. The common factor, in Bill Vanderburg's opinion,
seems to be the PC 1.94w AE firmware.
He has saved the most recent failed
memory card. If anybody needs to examine that card please contact me in
McKinney.
