I know that one is too many, but how
many is "a rash" or "alarming" or "extensive"? We need some hard
details. Have the details of these experiences been forwarded to
Larry? He is collating election night information. Do we have
access to the memory cards that went blank? Do we have access to the
AccuVotes that the cards were used in? Do we at least have the AccuVote's
Serial Number?
We need to retrieve these materials
from the field if we're ever going to sit down and figure out what is going
on. We need to see this problem happen in front of us otherwise it is
going to continue to happen in the field.

We are experiencing a rash of memory card failure that is
almost alarming. We are looking into what the problems might be. It
doesn't seem to matter if the cards are brand new or a few years old.
Does anyone else have input or concerns on this issue? So far, we
know that there were extensive problems in Virginia and Florida in this
past election cycle. ~Ingrid -----Original Message----- From:
