RE: AVOS Election Report Tape - Ballot Cast to Bottom of Report

["Ian S. Piper" <ian@dieboldes.com>]

Why not have the poll workers, as part of their procedure, roll the tapes up
so that the ballots cast total statement is on the outside of the roll?  Or
is that asking too much?

Sincerely,

This is a request to have the ballots cast total statement appear at the
bottom of the tape on the Election Totals Tape.  Having it appear at the top
of the tape requires that during canvass, the roll of tape has to be
unrolled and rerolled for each tape.  If it appears at the bottom of the
tape, the user doesn't have to unroll it at all.  The CA primary tape was
about 25 to 30 ft. long.  This would be a change to the AccuBasic.abo file.
I'm not sure why people didn't ask for this before, but seems like a good
idea to me.  See user request below.

Steve -

Is there any way that Diebold could change the receipt tape to have the
number of ballots cast at a poll appear at the end of the receipt tape as
opposed to (or in addition to) the beginning of the final results section of
the receipt tape?  We are finding that we have to unroll and re-roll our
receipt tapes for roster reconciliation, but if it were printed by the
signature lines we could just find the number without unrolling the tape.
What do you think?
