Ignore the previous messages from me.
I re-read Jeff’s message and it appears that Rowan has already un-set
for election, so some action is required. Tyler -----Original
Message----- The difference between Exclusive and Additive in the
Straight Party Tally Settings is whether or not the action the voter takes in
the individual candidate race causes an overvote or not. Doesn’t the AVTS prevent the voter from
overvoting? There may not be a problem
with AVTS therefore. As far as Optical Scan, this situation may or may not
need correcting. Does she have any
races that are “Vote for multiple” (i.e. more than one)? I imagine she does. Focusing on those races, do any of those
“vote for multiple” races have fewer nominees by a party listed in the Straight
Party race than the voter is allowed to vote for? For example, does she have any races that are “Vote for Two” and
the Republicans only nominated one person?
If she does have any races like this (fewer nominees by one party than
the voter is allowed to vote for in the race), then we may have a problem that
needs to be addressed. If she does not
have any races like this (i.e. all parties nominated as many people as the
voter is allowed to vote for in all “vote for multiple” races) then we do not
have a problem that needs to be addressed (the reason being that in case of the
latter, Exclusive and Additive tally the same way). Tyler -----Original
Message----- Rowan
County is doing their testing on their AccuVote's and have found that they did
not set the Exclusive option for their Straight Party. I have walked her
through doing this, but now Gems says she needs to download all of her memory
cards, including the Early Voting disks on the AVTS units. The problem is
that they have already been voting on the AVTS units for the last week, and
have several hundred votes. What can we do so that the AVTS disks that
have been voted on so far will be able to upload on election day??? Jeff
