It went very well. Most of
the press was negative do to a local companies problems doing central
count. You know that the press
just loves to comment on the bad.
Our side of it went well.
We made history being the first company ever to modem in election
results. Our results were in with
50 minutes. It seemed that 1 hour
was a looming target for results.
The exit polls were overwhelmingly positive. Larry J. Dix Global Election Systems (972)-542-6000 -----Original

But
why not place it in between those two points when the voter's hands are busy
making selections rather than pulling out voter cards prematurely? What
part of "the voter pulls the card out prior to it
flagging" [don't you understand] Glad you asked. What I don't understand why
you think the "voter's hands being busy" will stop them from pulling
out the voter card while the ballot is on the screen any more then
their hands being busy pressing the cast ballot button. It doesn't
matter when they yank the card; it only matters that we
flag the card before we record the vote. "what's the harm in placing it long before the voter's
finished" that you don't understand. This one I do understand. The answer is the harm in
committing development resources to a project that will not increase
our revenues, that will further delay solving the problem properly with a
rewrite, and that will not solve the problem Jeff Hallmark reported to
you. For the record, the current smart card driver is disaster.
This was mentioned in the message I attached. Its performance
can be increased 100-fold without resorting to
asynchronous operation. Can
we not multi-task and run this routine in the background? We can do just about anything. Ken |
