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.
