Lesley, I don't need a rehashing of the 1.17 vs 1.18 argument. Many weeks ago, we agreed to put all the changes needed for Texas into 1.17.23 specifically for these reasons. I asked everyone to make sure we had a complete list of what Texas needed so we didn't waste time with multiple releases. How was this one missed?

DESI has only submitted GEMS 1.17 series to Texas for certification so having this change made in the 1.18 series does Texas and our customers no good. I respectfully request that this change be added to the 1.17.23+ version currently under review at ITA so that we can assure Texas that we comply with this statute in the series we are asking to be certified for use here. We have no option to go to GEMS 1.18 series in Texas at this time and Texas may never need the added functionality that the 1.18 series brings. Therefore, any "fixes" or "changes" we do for Texas must be in the GEMS 1.17 series. Thanks for your help.

Ken, I can't find where this got put into the 1.17 series for Texas. Can you shed any light here? Thanks.

If we can deliver these upgrades to GEMS, it would seal the deal in Bexar for us. They will be making a decision around the 7th of FEB. So, we would have to let them know before then. (like by the 30th of Jan 02) Keep in mind, these changes will effect all of the counties in Texas.

Rodney and/or Barry - could you please provide a clear sense of the timing on this. Ken, I do know that Bexar is looking for this now as it is a factor in the system selection process which is happening as we speak.

I especially like the statute quote. Let us know the deadline and the nature of the deadline, and we'll see where it fits into the queue. Ken -----Original Message----- From: owner-rcr@dieboldes.com [mailto:owner-rcr@dieboldes.com]On Behalf Of Cathi Smothers Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 10:32 AM To: RCR Subject: SOVC - Cumulatively Tally Precincts With Under Five Ballots Cast In EV/Absentee - For Texas Date Requested: January 25, 2002 Requested By: Texas Accounts Date Needed: ASAP Description: The Texas accounts need to have the ability to print an SOVC report where any precincts that have under five ballots cast in early voting/absentee (absentee/cumulative counter group selection) have only zeros displayed in their totals fields and the totals from those precincts then accumulated and displayed at the end of the precinct list but before the grand total line in a line labeled "Under Fives". This would be best implemented as a check box in the "Show Options" labeled as "Separate Under Fives" Motivation: Texas State Law requires that early voting/absentee results for precincts where under five ballots have been cast cannot be released by precinct. The text of the Texas Election Code follows: Title 7, Section 87.1231. (a) Not later than the time of the local canvass, the early voting clerk shall deliver to the local canvassing authority a report of the total number of early voting votes for each candidate or measure by election precinct. The report may reflect the total for votes by mail and the total for votes by personal appearance. (b) The early voting clerk may not report vote totals under Subsection (a) for an election precinct in which fewer than five votes are cast during the early voting period For verification, this and other associated code may be viewed at the following location: http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/statutes/eltoc.html Attached is a sample current SOVC and a representation of an SOVC with "Absentee" (cumulative) counter group and the proposed "Separate Under Fives" option selected. Also attached is a representation of the "Under Fives" line as it should appear on the report.
