> Ken, the Report Precinct and Vote Center Status reports contain counter group 1 and 2 columns. Do these refer to the first two counter groups defined in an election? If not, what counter groups do they refer to? The relationship between the counter groups 1 and 2 and those defined in the Counter Group Editor is not as clear as between voter groups 1 and 2 and voter groups defined under the Parties and Absentee/NonAbsentee tabs in the Voter Group Editor.

Another excellent question for the support list. The 1.94 Accu-Vote has one or two counter groups. AFAIK only Anoka (and I guess Washington now) uses the second counter group (absentee). These reports show the counter groups of the vote center. You can set up two counter groups for a vote center by putting both counter groups in the same vote center category in the counter group dialog.
The counter group dialog is less that intuitive -- I agree. Hopefully it will improve one day. Most people just learn how to set up their counter groups a certain way and stick with it. That is pretty easy to do since Minnisota is the only exception.
Accu-Vote 2.0 will allow more than two counter groups in a vote center. These reports and the counter group editor will need to be modified when that happens.
