Sablan.<\/p>\n<p>Sablan in an interview Wednesday said it is, however, their practice to have a technician from Nebraska-based Election Systems &amp; Software come to Saipan before election day to check the machines to make sure that they don\u2019t malfunction during the storage after the November 2020 elections.<\/p>\n<p>He said he will follow-up with ES&amp;S as to when the technician is coming.<\/p>\n<p>Sablan said they have two big scanner\/tabulating machines and four smaller scanner\/tabulating machines.<\/p>\n<p>He said the two smaller machines are going to be sent to Tinian and Rota, while the\u00a0 two big machines are only for Saipan.<\/p>\n<p>He said the two remaining smaller machines will be on standby on Saipan in case the other smaller one breaks down.<\/p>\n<p>Sablan said by using the smaller machines, they can post the unofficial results at the Tinian and Rota airports.<\/p>\n<p>He said the CEC official will then hand carry the ballots and the machines from Tinian and Rota to the tabulation center on Saipan.<\/p>\n<p>Sablan said the ballots will eventually be inserted into the two big machines for the official result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All six tabulating machines for the Nov. 8 general elections are running good, according to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":375654,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[900],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-375653","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375653"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375653\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
