| I received call from Susan Anderson, County Clerk and 
registrar of Fresno.  Here is some of what she told me.  She expects, 
as does Marin that some of these issues will be resolved for 
November. 1. 37 United "failed" or were pulled out of the field.  
Of the 20 they checked 4 or 5 had paper jammed in     the unit.  While the others would not 
read ballots (Mike checked them according to Susan).  They     will give us further info and breakdown on 
these later. 2.  12 Memory cards had to be programmed. 3.  30% of the Vote Centers called in due to the AccuVote 
stopping and needed to have power recycled     Many units had this occur throughout the 
day. 4.  The SOS Export took 50 minutes to execute and brought 
the Java Script Reporting system to a halt.     The same thing happened in Santa Barbara 
where it took 30 minutes to run.  In Marin it took 14 minutes     but I wasn't running the JavaClient and 
didn't run the Export during counting.     Also the export didn't work they said - 
because the party totals didn't add up to the votes cast 
numbers.      I don't understand this and it may not be 
the program at all, since we used it in Marin, etc.     However in Marin, the Precicnts Counted 
totals did not work and had to be manually changed in the     text file.  This caused Santa Barbara 
problems as well. |
