Diebold Admits Ohio Machines May Lose Votes
I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Premier Election Solutions (a subsidiary of Diebold) has acknowledged a flaw that causes the systems to lose votes. It cannot be patched before the election and the machines are used in half of Ohio's counties, but they are issuing guidelines for avoiding the problem that presumably contain a work-around. While Diebold initially blamed anti-virus software for the glitch, they have now discovered that the bug was their own fault for not recording votes to memory when the cards are uploaded in 'certain circumstances' — something their initial analysis missed. It would be nice to hope that Ohio poll workers would be tech-savvy enough to make this a non-issue, but they had poll worker shortages last year and might need tech-savvy people to volunteer."
You mean they'd never get one vote, and you're right.
Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner entwine / The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine?
They'd never get more than 1 vote, assuming it was initialized to zero. ;-)
0 % 3 == 0, correct? If it were initialized to zero, it would stay at zero. Unless in C# 0==true.
