I'll make a note of that and see if we can give you 5 digits.  The AccuVote
provides 5 IIRC.
 

  Confirmed.  On the latest Accu-Basic reports we go to a 2 line format for 5 digit results (at least on the candidate).  The code:
   IF candctr.total > 9999 THEN
    PRINT "####################" candidate.name
    PRINT "                   #####" candidate.total
   ELSE
    PRINT "###################<####" candidate.name candidate.total
   ENDIF
 
Florida likes to test 30,000, so both these problems need to be adressed
even though they will never be an issue in the real world.
  Even on an AV-TS?  Considering even trivial voting time (say 30 seconds?), 30,000 ballots represents at least 250 voting hours.  That's full out 24x7 voting for over 10 days!
