Problem with King County Rotation in GEMS 1.17.16.
GEMS
1.17.16
King County rotates their precinct ballots in a primary election but never their
absentee ballots (rotation 0). As a
result two voter groups are created "Poll" ("rotate ballot" checked) and "Abs"
("rotate ballot" left blank). When the King County Rotation is applied,
those precincts assigned rotation 0 are not reported and/or handled
correctly which could result in fewer precinct ballots (at the polls) with
rotation 0.
For example, consider the following
reports:
(1) Reporting Precincts with Cards

POL)
