Subject: Write-in consolidation --
requirements
See thread started by rodney subject "write-ins"
started Fri 3/2/2001 8:31 AM. Looks like we are going to have to have
some kind of write-in reconciliation dialog at some point. No date has
been set for this, though.
Quick support-list
follow up to this. Project managers for accounts should start
thinking/inquiring about the requirements for write-in processing. Both
GEMS and VTS before it have limped along without doing much in the way of
write-in processing. This either implies that there are not huge demand
for write-in reporting, or accounts are doing the reporting on their own
in some way.
We need to know, in
detail, how accounts currently process write-ins, and what the
requirements are for reporting are. For example, is it necessary in all
or some accounts to report write-ins at the precinct level, or are summary
reports sufficient? Are the reporting requirements different for the
losers, or are all write-ins treated equally? There are many other
details. Obviously the requirements are going to vary widely
by region.
I had posted a request
in the previous write-in thread on the details of how
write-ins are to be processed. There wasn't any response. There
probably won't be a lot of code written without one.
