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.

design issue --TS
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.
