1.18 header candidates cause download exception
Header candidates
cause an exception at line 659 (or thereabouts) for GEMS 1.18 right back to
1.18.1. Fix will be in GEMS 1.18.8. You will unfortunately need to
regenerate existing artwork. The problem has to do with voting positions
being stored for header candidates, even though header candidates have no voting
position. This was found with Greg's new york database attached with
the "error when trying to queue cross endorse Vote Centre" bugtrack posted
Tue 11/20/2001. In that database header candidates are being used as
placeholders for parties which do not field a candidate in a race. If you
are creating a party-row or party-col database, use the by row/col layout
feature instead of header candidates to get the same effect.
