Guy - you need to unset for election to add a
new vote center
A technical detail that I'm sure could be overcome if this was the
direction that we wanted to take. :)
Its not a new
vcenter, its just a new memory card for the vcenter.
This already allowed after unset, although you have to be
carefull.
1) What do we do about the public ballot counter and the card counters
(which are not uploaded but which appear on the AV reports)? a) Leave as
is, b) reset them to zero, or c) try to adjust them for the cleared ballots
(not possible if ballots are shared between precincts).
Rebuild it by
summing up the card counters. Its a redundant statistic that needs to
be kept in sync.
2) How serious would it be if someone accidentally cleared the wrong
precinct?
Serious.
That's why I am still dubious about this feature.
3) What kind of audit trail do we need? We currently have an audit
log entry for clearing the counters but there is no way that we could record
which subset of counters was cleared. Would printing something on the
tape be sufficient?
I assume this is
due to the audit log "compression" scheme we have.
Painfull.
4) When is this *required*? I'm trying to get out a V2 release RSN
(i.e. the next few weeks) so maybe we could try this out in that
version.
This isn't a "required" kind of request since
they can always just re-feed the whole deck. This is a "how much are they
going to pay for it and how many other accounts want it" kind of
request.
For the prompt sequence, how about:
Guy
Reasonable,
although I don't like the inconsistency in how its logged. I'd just make a
new log type "partial clear" and leave it up to the auditors to make sure the
SOVC is sane.
