This has
been discussed with Pat Green. He
is aware of the issue of the difficulty in inserting the card due to the
limited visibility of the card slot.
I do believe the option of tilting the reader was discussed in the
design phase. Ian Piper or Jeff Dean
may have some technical information as to why the reader could not be tilted. Larry J. Dix Vice

Message----- Will it
be possible to re-design the Card Reader on the R-6 so that it is at an angle.
Or maybe extend the bottom part of the reader, and have lights or a color that
guides the voter to properly insert the voter card. Right
now we are experiencing voters inserting/jamming the voter card in the wrong
place. This is
a deal breaker. At the moment there are 3 counties ready to buy, Travis,
Bexar, and El Paso, who is going county wide. This is worth approximately
15 million dollars to the company. They all want to see a change to the current
card reader. |
