Okay, I dug up a Tulare database. Two report precincts split 18 ways for a total of 36 base precincts all in the same vote center. Amazing. I need more data. Is there any county in the nation as screwed up as Tulare? How many are there? Who are they? Do any reside outside the state of California?

Counties vary widely on how much consolidation they do and whether they allow splits or not within reporting precincts. Counties vary widely in this specific question. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Clark To: support@gesn.com Sent: Friday, March 02, 2001 1:32 PM Subject: RE: Numbers of splits and report precincts in your jurisdiction From: owner-support@gesn.com [mailto:owner-support@gesn.com]On Behalf Of Steve Knecht Sent: Friday, March 02, 2001 2:52 PM I don't know what you mean by "precinct controller user interface" so I may not be answering your questions. (Guess - how to list base pcts on Journada?) Something like that... I don't know how that relates to nonpartisan ballot styles. But generally you'd find 3-4 non partisan ballot styles in a vote center with 4-6 precincts. Its ballot style - report precinct combinations I am really looking for. I am saying base precint just 'cause I don't want to complicate the question with parties. I'm guessing but, I'd say base precincts per vote center. % Base Precincts in VC > 1 = 99+% % Base Precincts in VC > 4 = 90% % Base Precincts in VC > 6 = 80% % Base Precincts in VC > 9 = 50% % Base Precincts in VC >12 = 15% % Base Precincts in VC >18 = <3% Well, the feedback is appreciated, but I think I need a little more hard data here. Here is what I get for Alameda using their 2000 database. #base pcts, #vcenters 1, 469 2, 303 3, 88 4, 37 5, 18 6, 8 7, 5 9, 1 10, 2 That's out of 930 odd polling vcenters. Maybe the database I am using is wrong, I dunno. But I need to know. If I design the user interface using your guess that 18% of vcenters are going to have 12+ basepcts, that is going to piss off the 100% of poll workers in Alameda that have 10 or less. And it will really piss off the 96.45% of them that have four or less. Ken
