Another comment
that begs to be made: let's remember that the quality of ballots issued
by BOD may be significantly less than ballots that are commercially
printed. BOD is bound statistically to generate an increased volume of
skewed ballots and thus stray marks, and hardly represents a panacaea for
counties aiming at minimizing ballot quantity overshoot
margins.

Well said.
Unofficial response:
Disclaimers:
- This doesn't make GEMS a BOD system.
Treating it as such is a mistake.
- This doesn't solve any of the problems
associated with BOD printers not meeting Ian's ballot artwork
specification. Using ballots that do not meet spec is a
mistake.
- Continuing to sell BOD when we do not
have a workable BOD system is a mistake.
- I didn't do it, no one saw me do it, you
can't prove anything.
