we sent 40 spyrus units out to the polls for the
March Primary and there were 20 for the polls and 20 backups - of those 7 failed
- died- had squares going across them - we changed out batteries after
they were replaced and it didn't help
One thing that we noticed was they were in the
same geographic area - (spooky) and they were very close in sequence
numbers 196-200 and a couple others.
I do not think that we should have to rely on
more than one backup for each location and if that is the case we need to
rethink our using the Spyrus at all -
The fact that there were 8 keys being used may
have something to do with it - but I do not know - and if it does why didn't all
of them fail
We need to determine the cause and the solution-
I have returned the questionable units to TX and hope to have some resolution -
We could have coded them in the field had the
poll book been accessible - but it was not.
Thanks
Tari
