Subject: RE: SOVC with totals flag for
Poll, absentee, and Early Voting
Another oldie but
a goodie.
Steve's account
below used to have a report that broke out their counter groups by row.
VTS, instead, broke out counter groups along the columns.
Myself, I like by
row. Tab prefers by column. Neither of us have a strong option on
the matter. By column is probably easier to implement, so we
are leaning that way.
So, Steve,
given the choice of how
to organize multiple counter groups in GEMS SOVC, which would you
prefer? By row or by col? Anyone else have a strong
opinion either way?
(I will send Mike
to deal with anyone who thinks it should be a flag)
Ken
I suspect the
counter groups would be displayed as rows rather than columns, but I have
no strong feelings either way.
I believe their old SOVC had the "row"
concept in use something like:
Race
1
| Race 2
Cand1 Cand2
Can3 | Can1 Can 2
Pct
1
Poll
10
20
30
10 20
Abs
5
4
3
5 4
EarV
1
2
3
4 5
Total 16
26
36
19 29
Do we need
this feature this year, or can it wait for the 2000 primaries?
I believe we can get by for Nov. of this
year and can wait for the 2000 primary, but must have in primary which is
March 2000. This should help with your scope of work
issue.
