They had not experienced this problem
before changing the AccuVotes in their accounts to 1.94w. The common
factor, in Bill Vanderburg's opinion, seems to be the PC 1.94w AE firmware. What is PC 1.94w AE specifically. What does AE stand for and is this the
firmware we have currently certified in Fl. And GA? -----Original
Message----- The memory cards (32KB)
work fine initially (for printing reports and counting ballots), but at some
point (that point in time varies) they fail to allow the printing of
reports, displaying the message "REPORT FAILURE / PRESS ANY BUTTON".
Once you get this message, (even if the card previously printed reports) the
memory card will not print on any AccuVote again. It will keep repeating
the error message above when you attempt to print zero totals or results
totals, in pre-election or in election mode. I got a call from Bill
Vanderburg (Adkins). He has experienced this 7 times in 5 different
accounts in Mossouri. Back in October/November last year and as recent as
today. He has experienced this
with Absentee memory cards downloaded from VTS 1.92 and with Absentee and
Precinct Memory Cards downloaded from GEMS 1.11.9. If you duplicate the
card, the error follows the duplicate. They had not experienced
this problem before changing the AccuVotes in their accounts to 1.94w. The
common factor, in Bill Vanderburg's opinion, seems to be the PC 1.94w AE
firmware. He has saved the most
recent failed memory card. If anybody needs to examine that card please
contact me in McKinney. Ian |
