Tell me how you would like us to handle a
stream of 0s from perfectly good ballots, and I'll make the firmware change
monday. I think you'll find its pretty hard to determine voter intent
from a stream of 0s. Except in Florida perhaps.

How about changing the reject message from "BLANK
BALLOT" to "BALLOT NOT READ" or " INVALID BALLOT" or
"READER CALIBRATION ERROR"? Or something else that wouldn't be
confused with a blank voted ballot. Maybe then the ballot can be
re-fed instead of everybody staring at the ballot with a quizzical look on
their face.
