AVTS Poll Book Accumulation at Central Location



Background: When accumulating via the load function in Pollbook, presently each time a new vote center is encountered on election night, the person running pollbook has to exit pollbook, Re-enter pollbook, insert manager card, type in 1111, and re-build pollbook data for the new vote center.  For a small election in Oakland, this will occur 27 times on election night. Major pain in the butt. For a large election, it could occur 1117 times. 
 
Request: Give pollbook an option so that when it is centrally accumulating vote center disks, you don't have to leave pollbook to do the upload.  Perhaps we can library the files when they are first created by ballot station, then do an "en masse" pollbook build or something.  We want to be able to simply load diskettes or PCMCIA cards by hitting a load button repeatedly.
