Re: Central Count

I have located a shaman, recommended highly by the local tribal council.  We are meeting tomorrow morning at sunrise to complete the appropriate rituals and prayers for our central count system.  While not recommended by this particular shaman, I have decided to add human sacrifice to the ritual and am now reviewing prospective candidates.  By tomorrow we should have all ballots blessed and cleansed of evil spirits and be ready for election day.  I can now sleep well tonight.

If the message is "BLANK CARD FEED" as opposed to "REJECT_BLANKCARD", then yep I've seen it before.  Reader not calibrating.  Out of our (ie, Global software development) control.  As to why it does that, you'd need to ask Luc[r]id Technology.  At $700 a pop, you would think they could fix this. 
 
Either that or the ballots are not properly consecrated.  You might send a sample to our priest so he can tell you how many thousands of an inch out of spec they are.
 
If you swap machines for a few years, you might settle into some golden units that don't exhibit the behavior as often.  I believe that is how Pima mitigated the problem.
