    What Jeff Hintz is referring to is the sequencing on the Precinct header
    cards.  He is stating it is "generic" because the cards are generated in
    sequences of 1,2,3,4, etc., and don't necessarily identically match the
    county's precinct numbers unless they are also in a sequence.  The cards are
    generated by a script file that does a sequence by range, i.e.,  1049 to
    2032, 9243 to 10615, etc.  What the script file can't do is print numbers
    that aren't in sequence or pull numbers from spread sheets or databases.

    We print Batch Header Cards in the same manner.

    Perhaps Spectrum has some software that might be able to pull data from a
    database and generate the ballots.  I'll CC David Dean and see what his
    comments are.

    I guess we'll have to talk on the phone about it, I'm still not getting it.
