Re: Memory Card Corruption after printing results but before modem upload



This occured in Marin 3 times in one afternoon out of 5 cards.  But the cards were all moved from the machine they were counted on to a "direct upload" machine.  Which of the machines did the corrupting??  The upload machine or the counting machine??  Don't know.

Subject: Memory Card Corruption after printing results but before modem upload

In the past few days of elections there has been a reoccurring problem.  This has not been widespread or in massive amounts, but non the less it has a common theme.

 

It is being reported that after the results are printed, the AccuVote is shut off and then back on for modem upload.  It is then that it is determined that the memory card is corrupted.

 

Does this have anything to do with printer noise?  Do this have anything to do with a possible power surge after the machine is shut off and then back on.  If anyone has information on this, I would appreciate it.
