Quick background questions for starters. Which accounts are we talking about, how many
units, what versions of hardware/software are they currently running. If this is for a pending sale, what is the
delivery date etc. Ken -----Original Message----- RCR: 1) Early Voting phase
of election. Allow full alpha numeric entry of voters info to smart
card from laptop. In short, regress to the former Challenge method of entering
full voter info. early voting only. (keeps cost down as there are just a few locations) 2) Election Day.
Using the Spyrus Number sheet, that has been broken down into blocks of 10
numbers, poll worker pre-enters a "block/blocks"of the numbers
into the Spyrus,. The "block/blocks" entered can reach a maximum
value that is dependent on the memory that is available. Subsequent
Challenge ID's, from the same block, are entered to match the Spyrus's
assigned block/blocks, if an entry error has occurred, from either end,
the number will not be accepted. As the challenge ID number is issued
from the Spyrus's cache of numbers it is removed from the cache. Obviously double entry is
a simplified cross check, it would be better to initially download the Spyrus
with a starting block of numbers, from GEMS, when the Vote Center is created.
The Spyrus and the Number Sheet it is loaded from then are tied together
by a shared ID per election, said ID is displayed on Spyrus
and printed. on sheet. In most elections,
Election day, there are relatively few Challenges. The intent here is to
shorten the list of numbers entered so that the Spyrus's memory limitation
isn't compromised.
