Good morning Don First thing I would have done is to remove the top and check the cr2 light. If it stays on, it's dead or the batteries are so flat it might stay on. Remember in Gwinnett, that one unit that gave the false readings, cr2 light stayed on. We let it charge and the cr2 light went out and the reader gave the correct results. Then we swapped the battery with the one that was going back. The main reason a ballot will not be accepted is the reader is dead, as far as I know.

Do you think this could be a problem with 24 units out of 149 that I had fail today? The units were stored in an unheated warehouse, but were inside for 24 hrs before testing. All would not take or reject ballots.

That poor frozen little Accu-Vote brought from 20F to probably 70+F would create all kinds of condensation on the circuit boards. That's why they put little packages of silica gel into some electronic devices for shipping and storage. Covered with moisture the circuit boards would either short out or cause erratic behavior. A cold Accu-Vote should be warmed up for 2 hours before being turned on. Twenty degrees F would not do good things for the life of the battery. It sounds like the read head is suspect. I bet if you swapped the read head (for a proven one) it would work like a charm. My two cents worth Greg
