Re: 195 anoka .abo file

Guy,

 

Sorry to have to report further problems.  When downloading memory cards using the new .abo, the Accu-Vote display gives the message "REPORT FAILURE PRESS ANY BUTTON".  The first four lines of the memory card label print successfully (including showing the correct date), and when "ANY BUTTON" is pushed, "syntax error" prints on the fifth line.  The GEMS Program Memory Cards dialogue box shows that the Vote Center has successfully downloaded on the Vote Centers Tab.  I have not tested these memory cards to determine if they are successfully programmed, would you like me to?  It might be difficult, Ken's BOD printer is on the fritz.  For what it's worth, I have confirmed that the report version chosen under AccuVote Options in GEMS is 195 Anoka and the ROM version chosen is 1.95.  The Accu-Vote has 1.95d ROMS installed in it.  Both Steve Ricke and I have confirmed this behavior using separate databases.

Tyler,

  I changed the anoka.abo in the ftp://ftp.dieboldes.com/pub/GEMSFix/195anoka.zip file but I haven't actually run it.  Would you please check that it is now printing the election date and let me know if there are any further problems?

  Thanks.

 It appears that the 195 anoka .abo file does not put the correct election date on the Accu-Vote labels/results tapes.  Instead of deriving the date from the election date field in GEMS, it gives the date of 9/15/98.  I discovered this during training with Washington County, MN.  I do not know if Anoka County is having the same problem, but it needs to be fixed ASAP as Washington is pretty deep into election preparation for the November election (i.e. ballot artwork has been sent to the printer). Tyler
