Looking at the zero tape and marking them accordingly does not
work. With our ability now to print ballots with the digital laser press,
we are now automating the printing of test decks with patterns based on the
ballot, not the AccuVote Tape (by precinct). I can wait until the Dec. Rom
release.
Can't it be done just with 1.94 ABasic if you
ignore vote for more than one? Sure it could. We
currently maintain 13 variations on the 1.94 Accu-Basic reports and if
people felt it was worth it, we could post an updated set and include them
with GEMS and VTS upgrades. However version 2 will require a new set
of files to be distributed anyway so waiting until then would keep everyone
in step.
BTW, voting for more than one is just one issue. Race
rotations also complicate reading the test result tapes. Personally I
would consider marking ballots differently so that the tapes were easy to
check without affecting normal reporting requirements. Just work down
the zero totals report and mark the test deck accordingly. :)
