I don't have the
fax, but I think I follow. The candidates are cross endorsed.
Overvotes in a cross endorsed group go to the highest ranking party.
This is one
of those changes that hits a lot of subsystems...
We would need to
change the AVOS tally logic, plus changes to the download protocol and
memory card format to store the party rankings. Central count tally logic
would need work as well.
AVTS would need the
same changes as AVOS, plus it will need some kind of user interface to
present this to the user. We could either allow them to overvote within a
party (current not allowed) and the tally only the ranking party. Or we
could automatically deselect the lower ranked party when a higher rank is
selected.
GEMS side
needs some race editor changes for the new race type
flag, and rankings added to the voter group subsystem.
In short, we are
talking major version number changes to AVOS, AVTS, and
GEMS.
Keep in mind that
cross endorsement isn't implemented in GEMS currently, nevermind the push
variant. That would need doing before we take on push.
