Subject: 1.94w Roms - Regional
Upload
When we originally requested an option
for a "regional upload" capability (for King) in the AccuVote
so that multiple memory cards could be uploaded from a "drop
off" or "depot" location without hanging up the phone
line, the request was never intended to become the default for the
option. Why? Because it does leave the line open until the
AccuVote shuts off. It is concievable, even likely, that some
percentage of workers may not turn off their AccuVote, may get
distracted, take ballots out of box, etc. before turning unit off.
Unknowingly I now have over 700 units in California with this
version. In Fresno, with the 8 line digimodems, I can't turn them
off and recycle a single modem at a time. It may not become a
problem, but I'd prefer not be flirt with danger.
My request is to make this an option vs. the
default. Why not an option in SETUP PARAMETERS? Thanks
