I too vaguely remember a minor fix but the original change to support cards without races was made in 1.91c released April 7/94. I would expect all 1.94 releases in use to handle this. According to CVS it got fixed in 1.94s, around June 98. It was probably broken for 1.94f through r. Nel brought up a concern that if users blindly sorted out cards rejected with the message "invalid ballot" during a recount, they will likely sort out at least a few cards that should have been counted. I can't argue with that. Also, rejecting the cards that don't have the recount race makes using feeders for recount a royal pain. It might be worth while to add a field to the AccuVote setup dialog for the rev level of the firmware, so we can turn off the workaround in download for newer ROMS. I don't know that its worth it though since we are on the heels of 2.00. If someone feels strongly about it, submit the RCR. I am guessing not many will worry about it until they are faced with the recount. Ken
