 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. :)
