Preliminary testing of 1.95d results are as follows:

Database used was Demo database (from ftp site) and demo ballots
Initial tests with Gems 1-5-2 did not permit download of memory cards

Upgraded db to 1-5-9 and download permitted

TEST 1- small test deck used - 6 ballots total
set AccuVote options to reject blank ballots and overvoted races
Results:

Initial Conclusions/Observations based on LIMITED preliminary testing:

After download complete - LCD displayed REMOVE MEMORY CARD
Reject blank ballot setting not operational
Observed no change is LCD display for overvoted races from previous releases
Precinct name on label as well as additional language for pollworkers
AccuVote counts number of ballots correctly regardless of AccuVote settings programmed

REPORTS:

On Election Summary Reports - when Winner box is checked this is what occurred:
IF WINNER IS DISPLAYED IN BOLD - Problems observed
Race 1
Thomas Jefferson in Bold - is winner
Race 4
Marianne Moore in Bold had 1 of 2 votes Carl Sandberg NOT bold - had 1 0f 2 votes
Race 6
Jim Thorpe in bold had 1 of 2 votes
Bill Russell in bold had 0 of 2 votes
Joe Dimaggio NOT in bold - had 1 of 2 votes

These are preliminary test results and should be treated as such. Time did not permit extensive testing but hopefully this will get us headed in the right direction.

All tapes, reports and report parameters are available if needed.
