C.__If a voter detects a discrepancy in a ballot produced by |
a touch screen voting machine, that voter must be directed, |
by instructions clearly posted adjacent to the machine, to |
call the discrepancy to the attention of election officials |
on duty, who shall place the ballot in a designated envelope |
and note it in a spoiled-ballot log.__The voter must then be |
allowed to fill out a provisional ballot or to use another |
machine.__The spoiled ballots must be counted at the |
conclusion of the voting day, and the totals must be |
deducted from the vote totals for that voting district. If |
any machine is associated with 5 such discrepancies in a |
given election day, that machine must be immediately taken |
out of service and impounded, and all ballots associated |
with that machine must, at the conclusion of the vote, be |
segregated from the rest of the ballots and subjected to a |
hand recount to compare with the tally of the machine in |
question.__That recount must serve as the final tally for |
votes cast on that machine. |
