RE: Manual Entry in Gems
I'll go out on a
limb and declare Bill as mistaken. GEMS has never done that
AFAIK.
As for should/can it
do this... All comes down to "how" as usual. It only makes sense in
general to have times counted = cards cast when (1) no multicard ballots (2) not
a closed primary (3) no splits. There is also the problem of the "check"
number. Right now manual entry keeps every race in check as they are
entered. If you set up times counted and nothing else, then they are out
of check.
If Bill or anyone
else wants to define a behavior here that makes sense for everyone, it probably
wouldn't be too hard to code up. I suspect its probably going to be
hard to define cleanly though.

Bill Bowers from
GBS has a customer that says in an older version of Gems, when you put in the
number of Times Counted under the Cards tab, that when you go to the Race tab,
the Times Counted field for each race will already have that number that
you entered under the Cards tab. In the current version that the
customer has, this does not happen. I tried several older
versions and also 1.17.7.5, and the Times Counted number under the Cards tab
does not carry over to the Times Counted number under the Race tab for all
races. Should it or can it do this??? I am waiting to find out
from Bill which versions the customer is or was using.
