Is this strictly aligned
with Central County configuration and/or also true of folded ballots on stand
alone units? Are we talking about
shimming the read head? -----Original Message----- Per Don Bizmeyer's earlier email regarding
central count folded ballots giving alot of errors. I suggested shimming
the units. This apparently has helped dramatically. This was done
to most units in CA. last year also. This was done in the field by whomever
was at the customer site. It was probably done inconsistently and using
different shim methods. I am requesting that McKinney
manufacturing shim the 5 units to be used for central count for Placer in
McKinney. This should not be a "field" operation. We have
enough evidence now that folded ballots do not do well with the AccuVote-OS
without this shimming and should make some accomodation for this at the point
of manufacture. Finally, no one from McKinney responded to
Don's request. I find that to be of concern as well. Steve Knecht |
