Re: Straight Party race successfully saves even if the candidates are only for one party but when you try to edit you get an error msg and are unable to edit anything

["Whitman Lee" <whitman@dieboldes.com>]

When range checking fails on the "Vote For" field, the "Export Id" field is
incorrectly highlighted, giving a false impression that it fails on the
export id.

This is fixed and will be in GEMS 1-18-10.
