Would it be possible to come up with a "glossery" of terms for us lay folks, explaining what these various fields or terms are used for in GEMS?? -----Original Message----- From: Ken Clark <ken@gesn.com> To: support@gesn.com <support@gesn.com> Date: Tuesday, August 31, 1999 11:52 AM Subject: RE: counter groups 1 & 2 From: Nel Finberg [mailto:nel@gesn.com] To: Ken Clark Subject: counter groups 1 & 2 Ken, the Report Precinct and Vote Center Status reports contain counter group 1 and 2 columns. Do these refer to the first two counter groups defined in an election? If not, what counter groups do they refer to? The relationship between the counter groups 1 and 2 and those defined in the Counter Group Editor is not as clear as between voter groups 1 and 2 and voter groups defined under the Parties and Absentee/NonAbsentee tabs in the Voter Group Editor. Nel Another excellent question for the support list. The 1.94 Accu-Vote has one or two counter groups. AFAIK only Anoka (and I guess Washington now) uses the second counter group (absentee). These reports show the counter groups of the vote center. You can set up two counter groups for a vote center by putting both counter groups in the same vote center category in the counter group dialog. The counter group dialog is less that intuitive -- I agree. Hopefully it will improve one day. Most people just learn how to set up their counter groups a certain way and stick with it. That is pretty easy to do since Minnisota is the only exception. Accu-Vote 2.0 will allow more than two counter groups in a vote center. These reports and the counter group editor will need to be modified when that happens. Ken
