RE: Gems 1-18-18 PA cross endorsement



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.

Subject: Gems 1-18-18 PA cross endorsement

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
