Re: GEMS 1.11.2 preference voting errors



  Sorry but I was wrong in saying that the Accu-Vote would reject an overvote before checking write-in overrides.  Upon checking the code, all write-in override options are applied before the overvote condition is checked as per requirements.

  This discussion was started by Nel's bug report:
 

  • A candidate and write-in selected in a vote for one race are returned as overvoted, even though the override write-in rule should effect the selection of the write-in only.
  • Candidacies marked with a candidate as well as a write-in are being tallied as overvoted even though they should be tallied as write-in using the override write-in rule.
which I believe was in error.  Does anyone have confirmation of this behavior?
