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
