    You'll note I was on the CC list.  Don't know how I got there mind you.

    Myself and 4 other GBS technicians from our Burr Ridge office just
    completed a comprehensive test of all Spyrus units, voter access cards
    and system manager cards that will be used in the upcoming election. All
    of the back-up voter access cards and back-up manager cards were also
    tested. I found quite a number of defective voter access cards (112-5%
    of total) in our testing, we also found 3 defective Spyrus units and
    only 1 defective system manager card. We still have a large amount of
    extra voter access cards in this county so replacement of these items is
    not an issue and can be revisited after the election. I think we might
    of headed off some potential election day problems with this additional
    comprehensive testing. The voting machines themselves have been through
    2 different testing procedures that checked all election related
    operations and functions. The central system has also been tested
    multiple times and we plan to test run it once more on the night of the
    6th. Larry Calvert from GBS spent a full day 2 weeks ago testing and
    checking everything on the absentee and ballot on demand printing side
    of the database.
    The election night media results software has yet to be test run; this
    last piece of the puzzle will also be tested during the afternoon and
    night of the 6th.
    I'm anticipating a number of calls in the morning involving the start-up
    of the system in the precincts but as you all know this is typically the
    norm with a DRE first time use. Most of the calls should be people/user
    problems and not actual equipment problems. If we do run into a few
    equipment problems, no one, including the Co-Directors or staff in the
    election office, will be able to say they were caused because things
    weren't properly tested. My dedication with assistance from additional
    GBS staffers to this county has been evident over the last several weeks
    and they know our companies will work through any issues that might come
    up.

    Additional items that need attention:

    Can someone please let me know the battery specs for the Spyrus units, I
    think it's important that we have some of these on hand for the
    election.

    Tippecanoe County has not received the case of paper rolls I ordered for
    the accutouch units, I still have 7 precincts (15 units) to set up and
    cannot complete because these units do not have paper rolls in them. Can
    I find these paper rolls locally? If so can someone please send me the
    specs on what type of paper is specified for the accutouch unit
    printers.
