Mike,

I believe that the "feature" that you are talking about is the GEMS "1.95 auto absentee" which requires either AV 1.95e or the Beta 1.94y. As per the release notes:

- Support the new GEMS-1.16->Setup->AccuVote Options->Tally Settings->Auto Absentee checkbox which allows the Accu-Vote to determine whether a ballot should be counted as polling or absentee based on its ballot identification marks. This requires either that polling and absentee ballots have unique card numbers, in which case the absentee ballots can be counted at any time without the use of header cards, or that the new Counter Group Header cards be used to resolve conflicts.

In VTS you select an absentee count mode which is downloaded to the AV. GEMS automagically downloads an abs count mode according to the count group and vote center category setup. Thus Nel's response explains the Ajax situation.
