Something like that...

Its ballot style - report precinct combinations I am really looking for. I am saying base precint just 'cause I don't want to complicate the question with parties.

Well, the feedback is appreciated, but I think I need a little more hard data here. Here is what I get for Alameda using their 2000 database.
#base pcts, #vcenters
1, 469
2, 303
3, 88
4, 37
5, 18
6, 8
7, 5
9, 1
10, 2
That's out of 930 odd polling vcenters. Maybe the database I am using is wrong, I dunno. But I need to know. If I design the user interface using your guess that 18% of vcenters are going to have 12+ basepcts, that is going to piss off the 100% of poll workers in Alameda that have 10 or less. And it will really piss off the 96.45% of them that have four or less.
