Marin - Election Day
28 of 114 or about 1 in 4 precincts called in
this AM with either memory card issues "please re-insert", units that
wouldn't take ballots - even after recycling power, or units that needed to be
recycled. We reburned 7 memory cards, 4 of which we didn't need to, but
they were far enough away that we didn't know what we'd find when we got there
(bad rover communication).
We have about 16 precincts reporting ballots
that won't run which has turned out to be lightly printed timing marks.
Most elections we've worked thru issues by 9:30. Today
it took until 11:30. But we are working thru it.
The first four (4) machines brought back by troubleshooters as
"not working" in the field even after recycling power, worked when
they got here. I can't figure out what's going on, whether its mostly the
rovers or inconsistency in the accuvotes. I've got a headache. Noon
