RCR:Election Totals Report in short format with Cards Cast breakdown with party names

Requested:May 10, 2000

Required:May 19, 2000 – Before North Carolina Run-off

Jurisdiction:Georgia & North Carolina accounts have requested – But will pertain to all accounts

Both Rowan County, NC & several Georgia Accounts would like to have the Accu-Vote produce its typical short report, but would like to have along with the Total Ballots Cast, a break down of the Cards Cast, just like our long report.But instead of having the Card number with the total, they would like to have the Party abbreviation with the total; for example:

CARDS CAST

DEM:300

REP:500

NP:200

-----------------------------------------

Total Ballots Cast:1000
 

  Due to a bug in some as yet unused code, it will take a ROM change to get this to work.  If you wish to go through with this we could possibly ship replacement ROMs tomorrow or Monday.  Let me know.  I would prefer that we had a little more time for testing before a general release but that's up to you.

  What I am planning to do is to check each card for partisan races and if there is only one party (i.e. a closed primary), then to print that party code after the card number in the cards cast section.  Also, all results reports will include full cards cast results.  I plan to keep the card number because in case of a multi-precinct voting center you can have different cards for the same party and in 1.94 there is no reasonable way to add these together.  I hope that this will meet your requirements.

  Essentially:

BALLOTS CAST
 CARD           QUANTITY
10000 DEM            300
10001 REP            300
10002                300
