Whit, can you pick this one up for the
1.18 branch. Just change the label
of the stat in summary/sovc from “Number of Under Votes” to “Number of Uncast
Votes” when the user selects “show under votes” but does not
select “show over votes”. I think you’ll need a new local.ini
entry for “Number of Uncast Votes”, which
should be fun to translate into other languages. Ken -----Original Message----- Don Biz had a question out of What GEMS does when you choose to
show under votes but not blank or over is assign those votes to the under vote
statistic. This was by popular
demand. Seeing it in action,
it’s more than a little counterintuitive to see over votes reported as
under votes. The concept is sound,
but the nomenclature makes it tough to figure out what is going on. The blank vote case is pretty self-evident,
since those are under votes of a sort. I think we can improve this a little
by changing the name of the statistic for the case that under votes are shown
but over votes are not. The best
name I can come up with is “uncast votes”. It would be fun to call them
‘missing votes”, but I think I can predict the reaction to that
one. If anyone has a better name
than uncast (which is not a word), I am all for it. Ken |
