RE: AVTS-3.13.5.7 - Times Counted is incorrect when you vote Write-In's

Okay, this is quite broken actually.  Fix will be in next release;  Jeff I will send you a 3.13.5.8 prerelease. 
 
We are way past the point of no return for most our AVTS installations, so people need to be aware of this.  GEMS upload works fine, but the "long" report on the poll book and ballot station has incorrect results for times counted, blank, and undervotes.  Only work around is to not print the long report.

Is there a problem I am missing, or does your report look different?

It works ok if you only vote a few times.  I am not sure exactly when it breaks, but here is a zip of the floppy.
 
Thanks.

Mail me a zip of the floppy, and I'll take a look.  I just tried voting one writein for president and the report looks okay, but I am probably missing something.

Doing testing for Mahoning County, OH with AVTS version 3.13.5.7.  There are 2 races that have write-in's, if you do not vote any write-in's for those 2 races all totals come out fine on reports from both the Ballot Station & Poll Book.  If you do vote write-in's, then the Times Counted and number of Under Votes become incorrect, but only for those 2 races with the write-in's.  Obviously you can print out a report with the write-ins, and do not turn on the Long Report option, and all is well.  When you transfer the totals to Gems, all the totals come out correctly there.  However, for Mahoning County they will not be using Gems, they will be printing directly from the AVTS units.  Help!!!!!
