Dear Tracker, Placer has consistently reported this problem during their central count use of the AccuVote. It is that the AV CC2.00h will sometimes not increment the counter (we are assuming a "passed ballot" here I believe), when holding the yes button down and accepting an overvote. Please read below and let me know how to respond. Database is attached. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Smith" <GSmith@placer.ca.gov> To: <skglobal@earthlink.net> Cc: "Dan Michael" <DMichael@placer.ca.gov>; "Laura Vizenor" <LVizenor@placer.ca.gov>; "Ryan Ronco" <RRonco@placer.ca.gov> Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 2:10 PM Subject: Placer Database Steve: The recount went well, thank goodness no hand recount. We are having a problem with what I believe is the Gems database. We have had 2 instances where over voted ballots have been run through our central count accuvotes and got a reject overvote error message. When you hold down the yes button and run the ballot through again the display on accuvote does not increment the ballot counter. This has happened in two databases our live one and our test copy. The first instance was counting absentee ballots in March and then 2 days ago in our test database. I tried to recreate the problem today on our test database and now it just accepts all over votes with no error messages. The database is still set to reject over votes. This leads me to believe that we have a corrupt database. I am attaching our test database and hope you can give us some advice. Thanks Gary
