Numerous AccuVote-TS units configured in daisychain formation in the DeKalb County (amongst others) in the Georgia elections received insufficient AC power, despite being connected to AC power. Units not daisychained appar ently did not experience these problems.

- What effect would power cable length, configuration, shielding, or any other cabling characteristics have on the integrity of power delivery in the context of daisychained AccuVote-TS units?
- How much power is lost from the power transferring through the AccuVote-TS unit itself?
- What is the ceiling number of units that may be daisychained from one power outlet?
- What power cabling may be used, other than our own designated ones?
- Is it the case that in order to not overload the power drawn from a single power jack, the jack should be connected exclusively to a power circuit, ie. the circuit should service no more than that power jack. Would there be any simple tool (other than a voltmeter) available that could determine that a power jack is connected exclusively to a power circuit?
