Yep, that too.  Also, it should be technically feasible to use the unit to store voter registration information -- so called paperless poll book.  Whether its good for download or not, it has the potential for a lot of uses..

I thought that we wanted the Jornada to do the same things that we have done in the past with our old Poll Book software.

• The ability to load up the Precinct / Early Voting information on to the unit.
• The ability to create voter cards.
• The ability to accumulate multiple AVTS PCMCIA cards to create one total.
• The ability to print out the accumulated results.
• The ability to transfer those results via modem.

The ability to do PCMCIA card programming would be nice, but I don't think it would be necessary, as long as, we can do the above list of items.  Just my opinion.

The Jornada exists.  I have one sitting on my shelf.  It is the Precinct Control Center software that is nonexistent.  I wrote some proof of concept code early this year that reads/writes our smart cards, but its not something that is demonstrable.  I also did a proof of concept for VIBS on the Jornada.  That's closer to a product, but still too wet to demo.  So, the unit shows potential.

 

Where I am less certain with the Jornada is as a download device (PCMCIA card programming).  It does not have built in ethernet, so we can't network it and download cards at the same time.  It has a serial port, but that is too slow.  It has a USB port, but it doesn't look like we can use that for technical reasons.

Is it the Jornada that is not existent, or the Precinct Control Center software that is not existent, or both???

What is the status of the Jornada and the Precinct Control Center software???  I am currently doing training with Johnson County, KS.  Their AVTS equipment will soon be there, and I will need to start doing training on both the AVTS units and the Jornada / Precinct Control Center.

 

Thanks,
