Subject: Manual Input Field of Sorted
Ballots that are reviewed and fixed.
Jurisdiction: San Juan, Puerto Rico
Date
Requested: April 3, 2002
Date
Required: May 1, 2002, Actual Election date
is June 30th, but need to test and have ready by May 20th.
A new function in GEMS that will be similar
to the Manual Entry function. This function will allow the
manual entry of the sorted ballots, (blanks, over votes, challenged,
and write-in) after being reviewed by the
Election Commission.
Here is how they would like this to happen. Say
that there are 100 ballots that are cast at 1 Precinct, and within that 1
Precinct 10 ballots are sorted, (4 Blanks, 2 Over Votes, 1 Challenged, and 1
Write-In). All totals for those 100 ballots will be uploaded
to GEMS, the Election Commission will then review those 10 sorted
ballots, and may need to change those totals. They do not want to change
the totals that have been already uploaded. They wish to have a Manual
Entry field to enter in just those numbers that have changed, and then have
GEMS do the subtraction of those new manual numbers to get the final
total.
Thanks,
