Subject: District Rotation - Not
sequential with Cards or Ballots
I am not sure if this
is a bug, or just the way that GEMS handles the District Rotation, or I have
not set up the District Rotation correctly.
Attached is the
database for 2 Precincts, 1 Race, and 3 Candidates for Johnson County,
KS. It is not really a District Rotation, however, this is how it is
set up, due to the State Law, that requires that all candidates be rotated
within each precinct. Since this election only has 2 precincts
and 3 candidates, we set up a Rotation District with 3 Sub-Districts with
the rotation set accordingly for each Sub-District, and 3 Base Precincts for
each of the 2 Report Precincts. Then within the Race, we defined the
rotation as District and selected the Rotation District accordingly.
GEMS does create the
rotations, however, Ballot 1 is rotation 2, Ballot 2 is rotation 1, and
Ballot 3 is rotation 0. Where I would expect Ballot 1 to be rotation
0, Ballot 2 to be rotation 1, and Ballot 3 to be rotation
2.
Is this a bug, or the
way that GEMS does it???
Thanks,
