Try me or Steve Ricke.
One possible reason is the curve in the chute is too tight. Using a straight edge ruler, put the end of ruler against the second crossbar and read the measurement from there to the end of the chute. The distance should be between 7-1/2" to 8-1/2".
Also check the chute surface for nicks or scratches. The surface should be smooth so that the edge of the ballot paper does not catch on anything.

> We are experiencing ballots leaving the AccuVote-OS and getting stuck in the ballot path in an extraordinary number of ballot boxes, roughly 1/3 of them in Placer. Deborah is running into this in her small election this weekend. Ballots are getting hung up behind the back horizontal bar, as the ballot is entering the curved portion of the ballot chute. This is happening to too many of these to be a coincidence. This will cause jamming during the day in too many locations to deal with. We need to figure out what is causing this and have 1 week to get it resolved, before delivery of ballot boxes by drayage company. Who in McKinney should I work with on this?
