For folks who have military time and spent days in exercises....it’s generally common a week prior to the exercise, you pull out the equipment...run it...test it. If you came to an exercise with 40-percent non-functional hardware, there would be officers and NCOs fired/heavily disciplined.

I get the impression no one much fears failure with voting management in Arizona.

It isn't just in the military -- any responsible software manufacturer does the same thing.
