 As an aside to 
this, in the state of Georgia, absentee ballots are only opened as of 7pm on 
election day, which means that polling results should be in well before 
absentees.  Polling takes place using the AccuVote-TS unit, and absentee 
processing using the AccuVote-OS.  In this case, the jurisdiction may 
safely upload all polling results, and once those are finished, they may upload 
all absentees in one batch.  This is a suggested procedure in case we 
cannot be assured that the GEMS AccuVote-OS Server and AccuVote-TS Server 
consoles may run safely in tandem.

  Subject: OS and TS upload 
  
  
  Can anyone tell me what the present procedures 
  are for uploading results when both OS and TS units are used? I have heard 
  both ways - that they can upload at the same time and that they cannot. If 
  they cannot it is going to be a real problem as juridiction start to use at 
  least one TS in each polling place, which is what many OS customers are 
  looking to do in the future. 
  Thanks: Don
