I have now implemented a form of this requirement. The logic that is now used in the SOVC report is the undervotes will include the votes not otherwise displayed. i.e. UnderVotes = UnderVotes + (if blank votes not being shown then blankvotes*numVoteFor) + (if over votes not being show then overvotes*numVoteFor). Tab ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Clark To: rcr Sent: Monday, January 10, 2000 7:55 AM Subject: Undervotes to include blank votes (RE: State of Illinois ) This is a follow up from the original Illinois RCR posted by Larry Ensminger 10-6-99 (attached). Larry Calvert has sent a fax restating the requests for Illinois and Wisconsin. They look to be the same as the original requests, with one exception: ILLINOIS MODIFICATIONS -- STATE MANDATED: 3) SOVC report to include items 6 and 7 from the state board report. Note that in Illinois Undervotes are calculated by using the following formula. ("Times Blank Voted" X # to Vote For) + Undervotes = Undervotes. Ignoring the algebra, looks like what they want is the same as Jeff Hintz requested some time back: undervotes include blank votes. The question is, do they also want undervotes to include blank races due to overvotes or not? I would rather not start adding multiple flags for undervotes (include blank, include over), and instead have a consistent set of rules for people to support/document/train. If its really a state statute though, we are going to need some kind of flag. Did GBS run VTS in Wisconsin? Did VTS deal with this issue? Ken
