24. Yes. In these tests, the "test deck" was OpScan ballots.
The DRE tests were done with "scripts".

I have thought that the internal code could be set to not futz around until more ballots have been cast than some pre-determined number--presumably a bit more than might be expected during a test.

Short of gross error in tallying, I wouldn't want to assume these tests reveal anything about DRE tallys, or even OpScan.

I think the main purpose of the volume testing was to check reliability.

The OpScan results probably should be ignored as a result of reusing ballots up to 17 or more times.
