Subject: RE: Numbers of splits and report
precincts in your jurisdiction
I don't know what you mean by "precinct controller user
interface" so I may not be answering your questions. (Guess - how to list
base pcts on Journada?)
Something
like that...
I don't know how that relates to nonpartisan ballot
styles. But generally you'd find 3-4 non partisan ballot styles in a
vote center with 4-6 precincts.
Its
ballot style - report precinct combinations I am really looking
for. I am saying base precint just 'cause
I don't want to complicate the question with
parties.
I'm guessing but, I'd say base precincts per vote
center.
% Base Precincts in VC > 1 = 99+%
% Base Precincts in
VC > 4 = 90%
% Base Precincts in VC
> 6 = 80%
% Base Precincts in VC
> 9 = 50%
% Base Precincts in VC >12 =
15%
% Base Precincts in VC >18 =
<3%
Well, the feedback is
appreciated, but I think I need a little more hard data here. Here is
what I get for Alameda using their 2000 database.
#base pcts,
#vcenters
1, 469
2, 303
3,
88
4, 37
5, 18
6, 8
7, 5
9, 1
10,
2
That's out of 930 odd polling
vcenters. Maybe the database I am using is wrong, I dunno. But I
need to know. If I design the user interface using your guess that 18%
of vcenters are going to have 12+ basepcts, that is going to piss off the 100%
of poll workers in Alameda that have 10 or less. And it will
really piss off the 96.45% of them that have four or
less.
