Re: 1 in 6000 error rate in Pueblo?

The SOS report for 2004 lists Pueblo as having Sequoia Optech III-P Eagle, firmware type MPR206,HPA128, CPS100; software type EMS/AERO v.3.52. The 2003 report just says they had Sequoia Optech Eagle III PE, type: Optical Scanners. I don't know what they purchased for the disabled, etc.more recently.

Why isn't there more information on exactly what just happened in
Pueblo County?

Sounds like at least a 1 in 6000 error rate on something there....

Anyone know any more? E.g. what kinds of systems they have?

Ortiz beats Palacio by 2 votes

...

The margin was ... four votes after provisional ballots were verified
and counted on Friday.

A recount is mandatory if the margin is less than 0.5 percent of the
leader's vote, and six citizen election judges conducted the recount,
beginning at 7 a.m. Thursday in a dance studio at the Sangre de
Cristo Arts and Conference Center.

That part of the process involved unlocking the voting machines from
the precincts, removing the paper ballots that had been locked inside
since the election day, and running them back through the machines.

That took almost six hours, and the group moved to the courthouse in
the afternoon to recount the provisional and absentee ballots, then
enter the precinct computer disks one-by-one and add them all up.

The total number of votes cast didn't change, but one vote shifted to
Palacio from Ortiz, so the totals were Ortiz, 3,353 and Palacio,
3,351.
