Confirmed. On the latest Accu-Basic reports we go to a 2 line format for 5 digit results (at least on the candidate). The code:
`IF candctr.total > 9999 THEN`
`PRINT "####################" candidate.name`
`PRINT " #####" candidate.total`
`ELSE`
`PRINT "###################<####" candidate.name candidate.total`
`ENDIF`

Even on an AV-TS? Considering even trivial voting time (say 30 seconds?), 30,000 ballots represents at least 250 voting hours. That's full out 24x7 voting for over 10 days!
