Response #3 – AutoMARK Test Ballot Stub Removal

This was clearly our biggest training failure this election. About 90% of the precincts encountered problems testing the machines because the stub was still attached. This is clearly our fault. The ballots we trained with did not have stubs on them. We never thought about the significance of that and obviously the manufacturer did not consider that either. In the future we will try to train using ballots with stubs or we will make sure to cover that during trainings. We apologize for the inconvenience.
