A computer error has occurred – This is rare and likely a more serious problem.
There is a program imbedded in the Vote-Trakker™ that anticipates system
errors. See below for an example screen (Figure 5.3A).
5.3.1 Missing/Not Available Errors
These types of errors occur when a component is missing. A physical component that could be
missing is the floppy disk, CD-RW disc, flash memory cartridge, or paper for the printer.
Depending on how the memory storage is managed, if one of these devices is missing, the Vote-
Trakker™ will shut down automatically. The Vote-Trakker™ will make this decision of
shutting down the machine. It cannot be overridden.
5.3.2 Incorrect / Incomplete Errors
The entry of any information by either a voter or poll worker may not be complete or it is not the
correct entry for that particular function. These types of errors occur during entry of usernames
and passwords for the poll worker. The voter will have incorrect or incomplete errors in
completing a write-in or by not having the correct VID card. When these types of errors occur,
the screen prompts the user to correct or complete the entry. These are rarely fatal errors that
would cause the Vote-Trakker™ to shut down. The only instance would be if the incorrect
password/username were entered more than three times. The Vote-Trakker™ will shut down.
This is done as a security measure.
