Subject: RE: City's original vote
totals flawed
Does the AVTS print a totals report on start-up if there are ballots
counted? I suspect that like the AVOS it doesn’t which would
indicate that the poll workers failed to notice that no zero totals report was
printed.
I doubt that we want a software change to detect this condition (i.e.
first start-up each day or similar) so we need to depend on poll worker
procedures to detect this.

The
thing I don’t get about the article is what happened to the zero totals
tape. That is the first thing you do in the morning, and every poll
worker has to sign it. It’s not like you can miss 37 test
ballots.
Was this
a matter of the operating procedure being to not print the tape b/c it is too
long? If this is the case, we really have to get this situation improved
by implementing a proper summary report on the AVTS. This has been done
for the 4.4 release, if it is any consolation. I don’t like blaming
pollworkers in cases like this, as the article seems to do. The software
needs to suck less.
