> Do the ballots have perforations? Smooth edge first frequently seems to feed better.

It is somewhat difficult to quantify the quality of processing foot first vs. head first, and may well also depend on the AccuFeed and AccuVote-OS units available, which is in limited supply in the Vancouver office. Let's see what kind of feedback is provided on this issue before committing to testing.

> > > Bill Bowers of GBS has observed that absentee ballots processed in batch seem to feed more easily (printed or BOD) when inserted "feet" first (bottom of the ballot first). In fact, Bill always recommends that batch ballots be processed feet first. He would like to know why he has observed this phenomenon.
