How do I
explain to Johnson County, KS that they cannot print out the entire name of the
candidate on the GEMS report??? Especially, since they were able to do it
with their old system.

Jeff,
The limitation of 20
characters is driven by the width of the AccuVote-OS and AccuVote-TS printers
and the space we allocation for candidate names on reports. If we increase the
length of the candidate name field then we will have to change the AccuVote-OS
memory card to support the longer names and either wrap or truncate the
candidate names in the reports. This would require some major work to be
done.

Requested on behalf of Johnson
County, KS. They will
actually have some Candidate names that are more than 20
characters, and the full name has to
be on the Report. Can we increase the Candidate Label field to 40 or
50 characters.
