Findings and public status
Tests, limitations, and listing gaps
Neutral finding types replace a generic “bugs” bucket so affected versions and source scope remain visible.

Back-side-only contest card tabulation correction
The submitted modification list identifies a correction for cards with contests only on the back side.
The record does not quantify occurrence, identify a fielded version, or establish an effect on a certified election result.

Deployment evidence
Dated jurisdiction observations
Deployment records remain at their documented grain. A system-level observation does not establish unit components, firmware, change adoption, or power configuration.
not collected
No reviewed deployment observation in this dossier
The source package currently establishes a certified configuration and test history, but no dated jurisdiction-level use record.
Absence from this catalog is not evidence that the system is unused. Deployment claims require a separately reviewed state or local source.
