We were wondering if
anyone actually did it that way -- we were hoping not. You are right it
seems confusing to me too.
The duplicate ArtSeq
is an interesting interface suggestion. You could even imagine some
duplicated and some not. We'll do that or something along those
lines.
As a point of
curiosity, is doing it this way actually a statute, or just "they way they've
always done it". If its the former, please forward the section up to
Vancouver.

Theoretically the cross endorsement works
appropriately. I noticed in VTS, if you
want the parties listed next to the candidate, the candidate would be listed
each time for a party affiliation as GEMS does. Also in VTS, if you want
the candidate to appear only once on the ballot, no party affiliation appears
next to the candidate. Which seems confusing, what party would the
candidate be affiliated with?
The state of PA expects the candidate to be
listed only once in the race with a dual party endorsement.
Gems currently shows:
John Doe (Dem)
John Doe (Rep)
The dual party option would show:
John Doe (Dem/Rep)
During straight party voting and dual party
option, whether Dem or Rep is voted John Doe would receive a vote.
Is it possibly to give the endorsed candidate the same ARTSQ identifier and
then append the party name after the candidate?
Thanks, Jane
