 We have started counting absentee ballots in 
Marin.  We are getting a significant number of the following error 
messages.   
NO ENDER MARK - the ballot will usually be taken 
on the next try 
NO BACK LEFT TIMING MARK (0 or 52) - these also run on next 
try or so. 
I've looked at the ballots and find no discernable reason for 
them to be stopping or giving this message, as they have all appropriate timing 
marks. 
I don't expect there's anything to be done, but 
it could be looked at prior to next election.
