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.
