Hello, kiwi_expat...here's some NEP info for Hamilton Cty, Ohio. I don't have enough posts yet to e-mail you off-forum, so here it comes...guess 'minivis' and 'iceberg' are working on this, too.
Per a Sept 23, 2004 letter on an Edison/Mitofsky letterhead to BoE Director of Elections, J.M. Williams. I have a photocopy in hand provided by a BoE official, very co-operative, no problems getting this sheet. She said that (6) ES&S tabulators are used (for the punch-cards used in Ham Cty.) These are operated by (3) Dems and (3) repugs. With a company technician available for troubleshooting...Not sure if it takes place in public view. Could maybe check on that.
The following seven locations are on the M/S exit-polled list. Quoting from the letter: "As part of our survey, an interviewer will be stationed at the following polling place(s):" -Anderson JJ -2205 Cincinnati 22-E -Cincinnati 4-M -Evendale D -6102 Fairfax B -Harrison C -4943 Sharonville 4-C
After the polls closed (7:30 pm) they also collected "...election results for certain precinct..." All seven above, plus five more listed next (12 total) were selected for collecting the results. -1510 Cincinnati 15-J -0804 Cincinnati 8-D -7903 Lockland C -3803 Madeira C -8307 Miami Township G
I do not know the purpose of the four-digit number preceding eight of the locations. This is not a Ham. Cty. entry, so E/M must have assigned them. Maybe E/M could shed light on what these mean. E/M's phone at the time is shown as (908)722-8683, Somerville NJ.
BTW, there are (1,013) precincts in the Ham.Cty., and (376) of these are in City of Cincinnati.
Has 'Rosebud' replied to 'Iceberg' regarding the questions raised in the last paragraph of note #339535, Mar 7, 11:13 am? That is, concerning operation of tabulators, plus the process of setting up and configuring punch-card machines (and who does this) which are sent out at the last minute on election day. I might be able to get answers, no promises.
Cheers to all, liam_laddie
