I think the Lucid reader software was intended to deal with the "shadow" associated with the "V" in a folded ballots. All the issues I am dealing with in this thread are associated with the physical properties associated with friction as a ballot that has increased thickness at a number of points such that it causes "timing" issues in reading the various id, timing, and diagnostic marks on a ballot.

The "low staffing" sites, such as Humboldt, bristle at the thought of having to manually smooth out the fold on each ballot. But they may not have a choice.
