Posted on behalf of Steve

Background:
In some
California
accounts we will be conducting election in conjuction
with DFM equipment. In particular the
counties will be using AccuVote-TS
units for doing Early Voting, and their
existing equipment for doing
election day and absentee voting. To
allow the counties to get complete
election results DFM has implemented a
method for importing ballot result
images (See attached
specification).
Steve, what accounts
are we talking about here? [Steve Knecht] See
above. Have they run previous elections on Diebold
equipment, or are they new accounts?[Steve Knecht] New Accounts How are these accounts creating their
GEMS database? [Steve Knecht] From DFM
Import What is the project manager responsible for
these accounts?[Steve
Knecht] ; Phrase does not make grammatical sense (wow, that was
Clarkian and felt good). I assume you meant Who, which is a whole
other can of null. Me.
Enhancement
Required
Implement in GEMS the
ability to export the ballot result images in the
format specified in the attached
document.
The attached
specification is relatively clear.
It is however missing information regarding what needs to be imported in
order to conform to their export.
Date
Required:
Beginning of September
2002 so can test for the November 2002 election.
Depending on your definition of
“beginning” and the details of the import, this timeline may-or-may-not be
realistic.
[Steve Knecht] We are to
have everything ready Oct. 4 for testing. Stay tuned, as I don't think
this will happend and we may eke our way out of this. I still need Ataa
to be thinking design issues in case we have to go on this. Believe me
you will be the first to know, maybe
second. Ken
