for Ohio.

Hmmm....don't think so....

Hart wouldn't have those. In fact, I believe most of the current crop of vendors just don't deal in punch cards.

Might try looking for other counties in the country with the same systems.

Most counties interpret HAVA incorrectly so many will be opting to change from punch card. Shouldn't be a problem, you'd think, parting with those or letting people copy them at cost.

I don't know how many different punch card systems are out there, vendor wise. There is a difference in the slightly pre-punched ballots and those that are not.

Some of those systems are old enough, might be a problem getting hold of an original version of the manual. Will see what I can do but would be helpful to know what kind of punch card system and who the vendor is- or at least the current company they deal with.

Manuals for punch card systems not found, at least for now.

Most information regards op scan and DRE.

Try a public records or FOIA request to the county in question.

I'd like to see them justify any kind of "secrecy" on that technology!

They are the official Punch Card vendor of Ohio and also does tabulators.

Like Hamilton, Cuyahoga

Vote Tabulators

Manufacturer Reps have Remote Patch to Vote Tabulators, including on Election Day(Manufacturer had election results live on web site as the votes were being compiled by the manufacturer)

Van Wert County (Punch Cards, Triad Tabulator ) random sample , Triad serviced tabulators remotely before recount.
"The hand recount of Jackson went smoothly and matched the total from election night. The Van Wert 1D count did not match the first time through. It was counted about three times and then matched.
"When asked if Triad had serviced the machine, the deputy director and a board member stated that they had serviced the machine over the phone via modem on December 9th."


Affidavits of Tampering by Manufacturer Reps prior to Recount
Hocking County(Punch Cards, Triad Tabulator)
At an Ohio hearing convened by Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., an affidavit was filed on behalf of Sherole Eaton, an election worker in Hocking County, describing how an employee of Triad may have tampered with the vote tabulator when he dismantled it three days before the Dec. 13 recount. In her affidavit, she states the technician told her "how to post a 'cheat sheet' on the wall so the ... count would come out perfect and we wouldn't have to do a full hand recount of the county."
Conyers has asked the FBI to investigate. Attorneys for John Kerry filed two motions on Monday to preserve the evidence in this case and to take the deposition of the Triad technician
