I was referring to programming each of their elections exactly how they want it. With the Race Titles & Candidate names, on both the ballots and the reports, and not having a generic ballot or report. Then we could produce the ballots off of a laser printer, and also produce the memory cards. This is just an idea on how we could possibly generate extra revenue for the company.

> They generally print up about 20,000 ballots at a time, and are using another company who does it for 18 cents. We make about 6 cents on it. Why do they need a service bureau to print a simple AccuVote tape? They just run the ballots through an AccuVote at the school and print a report. Then use the same memory card and AccuVote at the next election the next week. What's to service bureau?

The idea is for the county to then print candidate names and school name in the appropriate area onto the shell customized to each election using in house MS Word and a connected printer. I would also assume it would be a single database shell, replicated and used over and over with the county replacing names and headers for each election. Maybe we could provide candidate 1, candidate 2, candidate 3 in the database and they could change the names for each election.
