> 2) Part of Tari's initial discussion was seperate from the above and involves Card Numbers and/or Party Ballot Cast totals also being printed. This is fine and after talking with Tari, in a multiple ballot or Card situation in a precinct I see the need for this. However, the ROM change required for this is not something we will implement for November in California, nor will it be relavant to this election in that we willnot have parties, but I see Tari's point for the future.

> Also, Tari thought I was requesting a summary totals report be printed, which I didn't want. So once Tari and I spoke and we realized the confusion, we realized that I may not have been clear on what was being asked for. Please seperate the two issues so that California accounts that do not want to printthe summary totals report at the end of the day, can just get the ballots cast by precinct, without having tochange roms. Then, the Card No, Card 10001 vs. 1, Party code etc. can all be worked out in some other version without getting mixed in with the original request. Thanks Steve

I thought that I understood what you were requesting but now I'm more confused. The above does not look like:

And what do you mean by "summary by precincts"?

> Guy, I interpret your message to say that if you want "summary by precinct" totals only (Calif short version), and you want party code, then you need 1.94y firmware. That's what I hear Tari asking. And that's how I read your response. Is that the case?

Don't worry about the 1.94y issue. That is only for if and when you want to print party codes in the cards cast results for partisan primary ballots. That was not part of your original request and is probably the result of confusion with the 194 Georgia RCR which specifically requests party codes with full cards cast results on all reports.

Currently, as per the original request, the 194 California .abo prints full cards cast results but does NOT print votes cast results for the default Election Zero Report and the default Election Results Report. In other words, you get VERY SHORT default election reports. If instead you want cards cast results added to the standard 194 US short reports, then use the 194 Georgia .abo (but not the one in the 194y-usga.zip file).

And if there is any more confusion, perhaps you better call me.
