Re: ERC Public Hearing Tonight

[Paul E Condon <pecondon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If it is a given that BC will continue to use Hart equipment, then what
is needed is a new set of scanners with reject hoppers and code that
records in a control file which ballots have been sent to the reject
hopper. Then resolution teams only look at the stuff from the reject
hopper in a second run. Or maybe I misunderstand the various kludges
in Hart software. To me holding up the whole input stream when one
item needs to be resolved is a really wierd design decision. Hart
should be fired and a new software provider hired, and a new hardware
provider, also.
