"Permit manual adjustment of rotation schemes generated
by GEMS."
Currently, the GEMS data model does not support this, so it is
not a trivial task. To move forward on this RCR, the project manager would
have to work with Minnesota and detail how GEMS should provide
this feature. Some of the development group have talked about this in the
past and didn't come up with any good ideas.
In particular it is tough to define, exactly, what a manual
adjustment is with respect to. GEMS stores the rotation information with
ballots. More than one base precinct can use the same Ballot. If a
manual adjustment is made to a ballot, does it affect voters in all base
precincts that use that ballot, or only a given base precinct? How would
the user specify the adjustment -- ie what would the user interface look
like?
As a final note, this feature begs the question
"why?". GEMS provides excellent mechanisms for automatic ballot
generation according to statute.
