Below is a
copy of the RCR that I put out in November, along
with a response from Ken Clark. Yes, it has been fixed to put out the dashes in 1.18,
but they need to have only the Precincts that are involved with each race, no
dashes or zeros.
Thanks,
Jeff
RE: SOVC Report - Jurisdiction Wide - Only report Reporting Precincts that
are included in that Race
This has been requested before
actually. VTS used to put a dash for the races that don't fall in a
precinct. Its really hard to do without killing performance. Right
now we fill the array full of zeros and then fill in it with counters like
a shotgun. SOVC doesn't currently know whether the race is in the precinct
or not.
Its not a trivial change, and I
have a tough time chalking this up as a "bug". In other words it should go
into 1.18. Is Wisconsin going to fail us over this?
"Them thar races say
zeee-ro". I mean really.

The State of Wisconsin
/ Elections Board is requiring that
we only report the Reporting Precincts that apply to each Race within the
Jurisdiction Wide option. Currently we report all Reporting Precincts
for each race, reporting them as 0, even if that Race is not defined within
that Reporting Precinct. Could we make it a check box
option, maybe just to suppress the
Report Precincts that are
0.
Thanks,
