If it is writing first to the floppy and then to the hard drive, what is 
the safety net if the disk becomes corrupted when a voter casts his/her 
vote??  That vote would not be recorded, and the voter would not wait 
around until someone shows up to check the system to let him/her to vote 
again.  If it is writing first to the hard drive, and then to the floppy, 
then you can always copy the hard drive files back to a new floppy.  I 
think there was a checking routine also, to check to see if the results & 
counters matched on both hard drive and removable media each time the 
system was Opened, Closed, or Shutdown.  Is that process still being done??

Don't know off the cuff.  Why?
