Beth Kish in Cobb Co. has related that in the
recent election and after the upgrade to 1-17-15 they had several problems with
modem upload and memory card failure. She feels that the memory card failure at
election startup and modem is related to the recent purchase of 128K cards. They
feel the problems did not occur with the 32K cards. Since the upgrade occured at
the same time it is hard to say, but the failure did not occur with the 32K
cards.
No exact number, but several
memory cards failed - Format memory card - when units were turned on election
morning. Several cards would not upload even by direct mode - same message -
required manual entry - not very happy at that.
Modem of results - 60 of 180
units would not transmit - kept redialing. Beth stated that all went well for 55
minutes after the polls closed and at that time it was like a total shutdown.
They were not able to modem any more units. Has anyone else experienced the same
problems in the recent elections?
Also, they wish to be able to
reset more than one vote center at a time without resetting the entire election.
Is there a way to un que a vote center without going out of the download screen
and back in? These issues matter to Ga. apparently because modem results are not
officially acceptable and direct upload of all units must be done for
certification of the election.
Thanks: Don
