Background:
Presently there are two audit log views in the ballot station
software (standard and accumulator). Federal law requires ballots to be
kept for 22 months for state/federal elections. We upload to GEMS each
ballot, and I'm assuming we are able to back these images up as part of the GEMS
backup process in some way. (Is this true?) However, we need to back up
the audit logs as well, vs. printing out each audit log after the election on an
AccuVote-TS.
Request:
Provide an "audit log" upload process for the PCMCIA card
which would look at the machine ID and automatically create a filename for the
adt file by machine. These files could then be backed up, along with the
GEMS backup, and stored for 22 months. This would not be part of the
election night upload, but would be part of the canvass process to meet the 22
month law.
