Actually, the VC # on the AccuVote tape doesn't help you
track back to a specific AccuVote units. Do you want the VC# and
Machine #, like with the AccuVote, or do you want the serial number of
the AVTS unit?
Okay, its clear from Ralph's
message. They want to be able to match the tape to the floppy, just
like the AccuVote.
He also mentions putting the precinct
number on the cast ballot screen. Not a bad idea. The cast
ballot page could actually have all the information as the start page.
Poll workers can always press review to get back to the ballot and see the
precinct though, so I am not sure whether this will make it onto the plate
for the current AVTS software or not.
