If the
message is "BLANK CARD FEED" as opposed to
"REJECT_BLANKCARD", then yep I've seen it before. Reader
not calibrating. Out of our (ie, Global software development)
control. As to why it does that, you'd need to ask Luc[r]id
Technology. At $700 a pop, you would think they could fix
this.
Either that
or the ballots are not properly consecrated. You might send a
sample to our priest so he can tell you how
many thousands of an inch out of spec they
are.
If you swap
machines for a few years, you might settle into some golden units that
don't exhibit the behavior as often. I believe that is how
Pima mitigated the problem.

Is anyone else running central count getting
frequest "blank ballot"s when in fact the ballot is voted
in each race??
