    Lesley, the decision to send nightlights was a decsision made by the State
    of Georgia without in-put from anyone on the Diebold team. It was a done
    deal before we knew about it. We fully understand the electrical issues and
    this has been fully covered in our poll worker training and will be covered
    in training our rovers.
