The article refers to absentee processing, hence they would be referring to the AccuVote-OS. They probably tested their absentee memory cards in Election Mode, forgetting to reset to Pre-Election Mode, then set to Election Mode again. The fact that the AccuVote-OS unit(s) used for absentee processing did not print a Zero Totals tape presumably eluded the county technical support representative.

> The thing I don’t get about the article is what happened to the zero totals tape. That is the first thing you do in the morning, and every poll worker has to sign it. It’s not like you can miss 37 test ballots.

> Was this a matter of the operating procedure being to not print the tape b/c it is too long? If this is the case, we really have to get this situation improved by implementing a proper summary report on the AVTS. This has been done for the 4.4 release, if it is any consolation. I don’t like blaming pollworkers in cases like this, as the article seems to do. The software needs to suck less.

> To the right of the article, you can click on “Shops” or “Places Nearby” and it indicates Columbus, Georgia.

> The reference to Kennesaw State University at the bottom of the article makes me think this must be Columbus, Georgia. When posting articles such as these, perhaps we could make a point of indicating the state, given the amount of states a county or city of a certain name may occur in.
