Using a VPN connection, these Ballot On Demand Dell laptops can be remotely accessed from the Maricopa County corporate network. From a computer on this corporate network, a script can be run to remotely update the printer settings at the vote centers.

Using the Lexmark “image scale” issue at Victory Lutheran as an example, a script could remotely connect to a single Dell Laptop and remotely update the “use full printable area” setting. This would cause a single Lexmark printer at that site to begin printing “image scale” invalid ballots that would be rejected 100% of the time.

But, there would still be one Lexmark printer that is printing fine, which would cause confusion for a while. Why are some ballots being accepted by the tabulators and other ballots are being completely rejected?

Let’s move to 1 hour later, and the second Dell Laptop gets remotely updated to begin printing “image scale” ballots. Now, both Lexmark printers are printing invalid ballots and the tabulators begin to reject all ballots!

Now, think about a voting center like Journey Church. With 3 OKI printers, you would have the immediate “faded image” ballot confusion, which would intermittently print both invalid and valid ballots (depending on fuser HEAT). Then around 8 or 9 AM, one of the Dell Laptops is remotely updated the OKI “image scale” settings, which begin to print ballots that are rejected 100% of the time! Chaos!
