memory card corruption in Kansas Nel, what type of AccuVotes
were they using. InfraRed or
Visible Light? What Firm Level were they
using? If you can also get serial
numbers from the units that experienced the failure. -----Original Message----- More on the memory card corruption front ... this time
Kansas ... 25 of 200 of
Wyandotte County's memory cards have experinced corruption problems in the last
three weeks. Corruption was
characterized by messages such as ‘Precinct Data Error’, ‘Text Check Error’,
‘Counter Error’ and so on. Memory
card corruption problems were experienced last Fall but were accentuated after
batteries wee replaced. Corruption
occurred almost always at the point of powering the AccuVote on, and was
experienced on many of the 86 AccuVote-OS used for testing. Batteries were
changed recently in all memory cards.
Batteries were installed in the correct orientation, and batteries
removed from packaging were kept separated so as to eliminate the possibility
of shorting. Shawnee County,
also in Kansas, recently purchased a $21,000 batch of memory cards of which 66
reported corruption. Nel |
