32. I'm still not sure everyone appreciates the significance of this.

Which is that ballots on the screen mean nothing because there is NO cross check in GEMS to ensure that the names on the ballot match the names/numbers in the vote counting database.

While this is also possible with Diebold Op Scans, they are probably easier to test, using some sample paper ballots.
