ABOUT THE 68.05% ERROR RATE (cont.)
"There were 1,222 ballots reversed out of 1,491 total ballots cast, thus resulting in an [82%] rejection rate. Some of which were reversed due to "Ballot's size exceeds maximum expected ballot size"."
Not rejected outright, tho.

ABOUT THE 68.05% ERROR RATE (cont.)

68.05% mostly config related, and includes warnings and paper feed issues.
