> As you can see from the example above. The write-in names are listed with the correspondng race, so you can see the candidates that are running for that race along with the write-in names. If you select the Long Report check box you will also be able to see the number to vote for.
> You may also notice, as in your example, that the first Jeff Hintz is not with the other 2 Jeff Hintz, this is because there is a space before the first Jeff Hintz, which makes it different than the other 2 Jeff Hintz. I am not sure if R&D can do some type of check for consistent names, however, how would you determine if I put in Bob Dole, Robert Dole, and Rob Dole for the Write-In within a vote for 3??? This is something that will have to be done manually after the election is over, just as if you were using a paper ballot. We are able to give some reports from GEMS that helps that manual process, but that is about it.

Also included within that report is the ballot serial number, which by looking at multiple write-in names for races that have multiple votes, will show you the duplicate names with the same ballot serial number.
