Is this strictly aligned with Central County configuration and/or also true of folded ballots on stand alone units? Are we talking about shimming the read head?

Per Don Bizmeyer's earlier email regarding central count folded ballots giving alot of errors. I suggested shimming the units. This apparently has helped dramatically. This was done to most units in CA. last year also. This was done in the field by whomever was at the customer site. It was probably done inconsistently and using different shim methods.

I am requesting that McKinney manufacturing shim the 5 units to be used for central count for Placer in McKinney. This should not be a "field" operation. We have enough evidence now that folded ballots do not do well with the AccuVote-OS without this shimming and should make some accomodation for this at the point of manufacture.

Finally, no one from McKinney responded to Don's request. I find that to be of concern as well.
