I seem to recall Greg Forsythe mentioning
something along those lines, but I didn’t follow him at the time. Greg, what was it that prevented you
from creating a suitcase of voter cards to use to re-load the Card Manager in
case of emergency?

creation
Ken, one of the "things"
that was discussed when we ran into the Spyrus "clearing" dilemma was
to created a full set of "master voter cards" so that the Spyrus
could be reprogrammed on the spot. I'm sure this is much too simple a
solution. What is the drawback to a set of "master voter
cards?" I seem to remember something about the voter cards needing
to be made from the same PCMCIA card, or GEMS database, or something specific
that threw a wrench into the "master card" plan. Any
enlightenment? Les

Depends on your
definition of “soon”.
My intent is to have it ready in time for IACREOT.

Is the Accumulate/Load function also anticipated for
the PCC soon, or just the voter card creation? Curious.

There
isn’t such thing as “master voter cards”, there are just
voter cards. The VCProgrammer can
already create voter cards, of course.
The PCC will be able to do the same in a few hours hopefully. The Card Manager can also create voter
cards, though it needs to be loaded with voter cards created by something else
first.

Do VCProgrammer and the future Precinct Control Center have the ability to create
master voter cards (unlike Card Manager, which can create copies only)?
