it does and thanks - I will try some other options - Tari ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Hintz To: rcr@dieboldes.com Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 2:51 PM Subject: RE: Va request to list write ins by ballot serial number on tape- BS4.07 When I print the report with the Long Report box checked and the Include Write-In Names box checked I get the following: JOHNSON COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRUSTEES RACE # 10 # Running 7 # To Vote For 3 # Times Counted 2 # Times Blank Voted 0 # Times Over Voted 0 # Number Undervotes 0 JOHN BROWN 0 DON HICKEY 0 VIRGINIA KREBS 0 # Write Ins 4 Write In Candidates Ballot Candidate 27848 Jeff Hintz 619324 John Doe 27848 Jeff Hintz 27848 Jeff Hintz As you can see from the example above. The write-in names are listed with the correspondng race, so you can see the candidates that are running for that race along with the write-in names. If you select the Long Report check box you will also be able to see the number to vote for. You may also notice, as in your example, that the first Jeff Hintz is not with the other 2 Jeff Hintz, this is because there is a space before the first Jeff Hintz, which makes it different than the other 2 Jeff Hintz. I am not sure if R&D can do some type of check for consistent names, however, how would you determine if I put in Bob Dole, Robert Dole, and Rob Dole for the Write-In within a vote for 3??? This is something that will have to be done manually after the election is over, just as if you were using a paper ballot. We are able to give some reports from GEMS that helps that manual process, but that is about it. I hope this helps make it a little more clear. ----- Original Message----- From: owner-rcr@dieboldes.com [mailto:owner-rcr@dieboldes.com]On Behalf Of Tari Runyan Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 1:17 PM To: rcr@dieboldes.com Subject: Re: Va request to list write ins by ballot serial number on tape- BS4.07 Excuse me - I was not clear - they want it listed in ORDER by serial number so that if a vote for 3 has 3 write ins - same name they don't have to sort through the whole tape - it appears to be random now example SN write in 2413 Jeff Hintz 3451 Jeff Hintz 2413 Jeff Hintz which races are these in - are they on a vote for 1 race or a vote for 2 -0 is Jeff Hintz already on the race and they wrote it in? etc ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Hintz To: rcr@dieboldes.com Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 11:44 AM Subject: RE: Va request to list write ins by ballot serial number on tape- BS4.07 If you select Include Write-In Names option within Reporting, then you are able to see all the write-in names on the report. Also included within that report is the ballot serial number, which by looking at multiple write-in names for races that have multiple votes, will show you the duplicate names with the same ballot serial number. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rcr@dieboldes.com [mailto:owner-rcr@dieboldes.com]On Behalf Of Tari Runyan Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2001 5:19 PM To: rcr Subject: Va request to list write ins by ballot serial number on tape- BS4.07 Va request to list write ins by ballot serial number on tape- the only way now to see if a voter wrote in a candidate whose name is on the ballot is to export the ts write in report from Gems and fancy sort it - there is also no way to see if a voter cast 3 writeins for the same guy in a vote for 3 race Thanks Tari Runyan Global Election Systems, Inc. 547 W. 91st Ave #301 Thornton Co 80260 303-428-5011 office 303 428-5022 fax 303-520-0710 cell
