    I guess they are talking about the AccuVote-TS (DRE).  The way you would do
    it is the same as with the Accu-Vote.  Separate memory card (ie, floppy) for
    each day.  I think we have done this before somewhere.

    We could put the physical file in a separate "folder" as you suggest.
    Alternately we could keep a "day stamp" with each ballot.  The report for
    "today's" ballots would be zero since no ballots would match today's day
    stamp.

    This all seems a bit pointless though.  There *are* ballots in the system,
    regardless of how we organize them into a folder/database.  You could
    accomplish the same thing with a hard-coded report that showed all zeros
    after they press the "new day" button, and it would be just as meaningfull.
