Lesley,
I
don't need a rehashing of the 1.17 vs 1.18 argument. Many weeks ago, we
agreed to put all the changes needed for Texas into 1.17.23 specifically for
these reasons. I asked everyone to make sure we had a complete list of
what Texas needed so we didn't waste time with multiple releases. How was
this one missed?
Pat
Pat,
The requirement that was submitted in the
following RCR was and is specifically for Texas. DESI has only submitted
GEMS 1.17 series to Texas for certification so having this change made in the
1.18 series does Texas and our customers no good. I
respectfully request that this change be added to the 1.17.23+ version
currently under review at ITA so that we can assure Texas that we comply with
this statute in the series we are asking to be certified for use here.
We have no option to go to GEMS 1.18 series in Texas at this time and Texas
may never need the added functionality that the 1.18 series brings.
Therefore, any "fixes" or "changes" we do for Texas must be in the GEMS 1.17
series. Thanks for your help. Les

This is a "hot" item
along with the "BOD" issue. If we can deliver these upgrades to
GEMS, it would seal the deal in Bexar for us. They will be making a
decision around the 7th of FEB. So, we would have to let them know
before then. (like by the 30th of Jan 02) Keep in mind, these changes
will effect all of the counties in Texas.

Thanks, Ken.
Rodney and/or Barry - could you please provide a clear sense of the timing
on this. Ken, I do know that Bexar is looking for this now as
it is a factor in the system selection process which is happening as we
speak.

This is actually
an exceedingly well-written RCR with the exception of the ASAP part.
I especially like the statute quote. Let us know the deadline and
the nature of the deadline, and we'll see where it fits into the
queue.

Accounts
Description: The Texas
accounts need to have the ability to print an SOVC report where any
precincts that have under five ballots cast in early voting/absentee
(absentee/cumulative counter group selection) have only zeros
displayed in their totals fields and the totals from those
precincts then accumulated and displayed at the end of the precinct
list but before the grand total line in a line labeled "Under
Fives". This would be best implemented as a check box in the "Show
Options" labeled as "Separate Under
Fives"
Motivation: Texas State Law
requires that early voting/absentee results for precincts
where under five ballots have been cast cannot be released by
precinct.
The text
of the Texas Election Code
follows:
Title 7,
Section 87.1231.
(a) Not
later than the time of the local canvass, the early voting clerk shall
deliver to the local canvassing authority a report of the total number
of early voting votes for each candidate or measure by election
precinct. The report may reflect the total for votes by mail and
the total for votes by personal
appearance.
(b) The
early voting clerk may not report vote totals under Subsection (a) for
an election precinct in which fewer than five votes are cast during the
early voting period
Attached is a
sample current SOVC and a representation of an SOVC with "Absentee"
(cumulative) counter group and the proposed "Separate Under Fives"
option selected. Also attached is a representation of the "Under
Fives" line as it should appear on the
report.
