In this manner it would be possible to force voter-group specific ballots in the case of acclamations. Reporting sets are defined for purposes of reporting results for non-dummy races. Greg is testing this now.

I don't know if I am following Greg's requirements at this point, but you don't need "dummy" races to force voter group specific ballots. Use voter group specific headers.

We already do voter group specific ballots. It is the reporting aspect that is in 2.0. You don't need voter-group linked races to get voter group specific ballots.

Notwithstanding voter group specific headers.

You can get unique plates without dummy races.
What I assume Greg is doing is using the Times Voted field of the dummy race to get voter turnout? I don't think that races without candidates show up on the post-election reports though.
