Either the time is adjusted during the election cycle or you explain Microsoft's incompetence, and tell them to expect that the totals report and audit printouts to have a time stamp that is out by an hour. It's not as if the election will shut down prematurely. Our software isn't setup that way. I believe pollworkers still use wrist watches and wall clocks to determine when the polls should open and close. Granted, this doesn't look good but I don't believe it's a show stopper.

However, during the early voting process, the daylight savings time will change during the election cycle, and there is no way to fix the time once the election has been set.

Computers do not keep perfect time. If the time is important, customers should always check the time before an election. Changing to daylight savings or standard time should not be a big deal if they are checking anyway. ...Pat -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Hintz [mailto:jhglobal@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 5:02 PM To: bugtrack@dieboldes.com Subject: RE: Daylight Savings Time - Windows CE - AVTS R6 - Not Changing Time So what do we have the customer do, until the new fix???

We will add this to our task to do. Tab ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Hintz To: Bugs List Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 1:02 PM Subject: Daylight Savings Time - Windows CE - AVTS R6 - Not Changing Time I have tried several times to get the Daylight Savings Time to work on the AVTS R6 unit. I have set the date to April 6th at 11:30p.m., I have the Daylight savings time currently in effect, box checked. I then have let it run for over 3 hours, so the time is 2:30a.m. on April 7th, but it does not change the time to 3:30a.m. as it should. Do I need to let the R6 run for a full 24 hours, since it is Windows CE??? I can change the time on my laptop or any other computer in the office to 1:59a.m., April 7th, and when it turns 2:00a.m., it automatically goes to 3:00a.m. Is this a bug in CE, or am I doing something wrong???
