'Nuf said. If this machine can sort thousands of precincts into thousands of little ballot piles, then you are right the precinct id on the artwork doesn't help. Must be some machine to have an output tray for every precinct.

I think we are missing each other on this point. If the cost is fixed at $.65 per absentee voter and independent of the number of ballot styles or precincts, then this is all moot. Persumably we would do this to either save ourselves or the our county labor, and in return either increase our gross margin or decrease their net cost. Let me get with Dean and get up to speed on the processing details.
