Say we have 3 precincts in a VC  101,102,103-  102 has to be cleared and reread for some reason -  101 and 103 are fine and have 20,000 ballots between them -  102 only has 5000 so - I want to clear 102 and read 5000 back thru - not all 25000-  does that clarify and yes could it be done with a header card on the AccuVote so when we reset the VC in Gems and reupload  101 and 103 will  have their totals retained and 102 will then have a new count - say 4755?

I have had several requests from clients that we be able to clear one precinct in a vote center that has 2 or more precincts in it -  Is this possible for us to do??

Could you give some context as to what circumstances they want to do this? 
From: Tari Runyan [mailto:tprunyan@techline.com] 
 
There are times that only one precinct in a vote center is off (+ or - ) and they only need to recount one precinct and because it is in a multiple precinct vote center they have to recount all the precincts when they only want to do one -  this occurs mainly in the early voting and polling vote centers where the humans haven't followed the directions and therefore the count is off -   
 
If you clear the AccuVote counts and re-feed you will be clearing every precinct on that card.  Perhaps I misunderstood your first message.  Do you want to clear one precinct on the AccuVote?  Again, possible, but how would you like that to work?  Feed a precinct header card to indicate which precinct to clear or something?
