Well, I found one way to do it, but it may not always work.

The method involves moving an extra race from the front of the two sided ballot to the back. This changes the front plate on the two sided ballot and makes it different from the one sided ballot. Then, go to the one sided ballot and remove the Vote Both Sides header.

The reason this may not always work is that when you move the last race from the front of the 2 sided ballot to the back, you may potentially create a race configuration on the new front of the 2 sided ballot that mimics another one sided ballot.

Any thoughts on this approach?

Subject: Ballot editing with common Front Plates

Time Frame:

ASAP, Osceola County FL ballots are already late to printer.

Problem:

2 ballot styles have common Front Plates.

Need to delete a header from one of these, but leave it on the other.

Cannot edit one front plate without the edit reflected on the other.

Reason:

One of these ballot styles has races on the back and the other does not. Need to remove the Vote Both Sides header from the ballot style that has no races on the back. Since the front plates are shared the removal is reflected on both, causing the two-sided ballot to lose the Vote Both Sides header on its front plate.

Question:

Is there a method to solve this dilemma? Is there a way to make the ballot styles use unique front plates?

Expectation:

Solution probably involves hidden/dummy races or headers or something similar that causes my hair to turn gray and fall out.

Thanks in advance,

Mark
