Per Don Bizmeyer's earlier email regarding central count
folded ballots giving alot of errors. I suggested shimming the
units. This apparently has helped dramatically. This was done to
most units in CA. last year also. This was done in the field by whomever
was at the customer site. It was probably done inconsistently and using
different shim methods.
I am requesting that McKinney manufacturing shim the 5
units to be used for central count for Placer in McKinney. This should not
be a "field" operation. We have enough evidence now that folded ballots do
not do well with the AccuVote-OS without this shimming and should make some
accomodation for this at the point of manufacture.
Finally, no one from McKinney responded to Don's
request. I find that to be of concern as well.
