Michigan, as well as, other Northeast states need to have this feature in order for us to be certified for their states.
Obviously this is not needed for races that have only 1 write-in line and are only a vote for 1. However, where there is a race with multiple write-in lines and multiple candidates to vote for; there needs to be a way to determine if a voter has written in the same name more than once for a multiple candidate race. We have already done this in Gems with the TS Write-In Report, but it is required that this be done within the Vote Center, where there is no host computer with Gems. You can view each ballot on the AVTS within the View Ballot Result screen, but this would take too long especially with multiple AVTS units within a Vote Center. The idea would be to print the Ballot Serial Number along with the Write-In Name on the ticker tape report. I am not sure if we want to print out the Name followed by the Serial Number, or do a 2 line print out - first the name followed by the serial number on the second line, possibly indented. Some way of being able to check easily and quickly for the same name and same ballot id within the report. Also, we could possilby add another check box within the Reporting Screen on the AVTS unit, where you would check Include Write-In Names with Ballot Serial Numbers. That way, the states that do not require this could still have the check box with Include Write-In Names.
I am not sure when this is actually required. I am assuming real soon, since GBS & LHS have asked for it, and again it is required for Certification.
Larry Dix or Don Vopalensky can you get the actual date when this is needed???
