Needed for Testing in August 2001 for Alameda:
(Disussed with Tab last week and Jeff Dean
several weeks ago).
Need ability in GEMS to generate Header Card artwork,
such that precinct number or name can be printed onto the Header Card by
Spectrum digital printing process.
Background: Large account (Alameda - 1117 precincts)
wants to do automated inserting using ballot styles, not precinct IDs.
This way they "pull" the ballots the night before from only approx. 125 stacks
of ballots rather than 1117 stacks. Using the automated sorting capability
on the incoming side, the ballots will be presorted by precinct, and processed
several times via central count during the 7 days prior to the election.
The customer wants to take the presorted precinct ballots,
place a header card for that precinct in front of the cards (either provisional
or absentee) and process the op scan ballots. They will print up 4 or 5
Header cards for each precinct for a large election, but they do not want to
have to look at a report that tells them to insert Header #299 for Precinct
205800. They want the PRECINCT No. or Name printed by Spectrum on the
Header card and to order Headers for each election.
