| Sorry, I had 
no idea you guys were doing this.  The current software 
was not designed for the new body, and the new body was not designed for 
the old board.  No wonder you are having difficulties;  I think I 
finally understand what all the fuss about locking readers is all about.  
You say that "this is an awkward process that interrupts the normal voting 
process and makes our system look bad."  Congratulations.  Whoever 
okayed this should suffer.   Ken     
  
  What do you mean 
  by "pre-production touch screen ballot station"?  Are you running the 
  current windows software in the new body in a 
  real election?   Ken     
    
    
    In 
    Forsyth County the election officials love our pre-production touch screen 
    ballot station.  The only flaw 
    they see is the problem created by the non-locking card reader and they 
    expect to see a real solution, to that problem in the production units.  They feel that if it causes problems 
    in 5 early voting precincts, it will really present problems on election day 
    in 110 precincts.
