    Hi,

    El Paso Colorado had about 6 memory cards fail during their testing, showing
    similar symptoms.  They then had another 6 memory cards fail on election
    day.

    All their memory cards and AccuVotes are new, they had about 200 vote
    centers/AccuVotes in the county.

    Ian Piper was with me and he mentioned he was going to track some of this.
    I would ask to him if he's found out anything.

    Take care,

    Rob
