No.  GEMS generates the summary report by accumulating the precincts.  The
summary is not stored seperately in GEMS.  They'll have to give us counters
before we can give them reports.

Well, we can export the counters (GEMS export), but I suspect they will have
trouble importing.  They should ask their election software vendor about
that I guess ;-).

Hmmm.  I'll take a look at that.

I don't think there are any RCRs here, but good questions.
