<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I'm reaching out and let you and the Potomac Chapter know that we will use new ballot scanners for the August 4<sup>th</sup> Primary, but continue using our current Ballot Marking devices. There is only one change
to the user experience for voters using the Ballot Marking device, which is that when the voter inserts their ballot marker ballot into the scanner, it needs to be inserted up against the right side of the scanner slot, rather than in the middle. Officers
will receive training on this subject. If you have any questions, or would like more information, please let me know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
