There was only 1 card to each ballot. I am attaching the database. This was a recount in only 1 district. Georgia law does not allow the "program" to be changed, so all the base precincts and all the races are still there, and we just report on the one race in the one district. To recreate what I have printed, go to the SOVC. In Districts select "32nd House", in Reporting sets select "Recount 32nd House". Then under show, select everything. On mine, Cards Cast is 12,424 and Times Counted is 12,422. The higher number is "correct", i.e. matches the Accu-Vote tapes. The lower number is what prints on the Summary reports, and therefore I can't release them until I get this figured out. Thank you very much for your help! ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Brown <mike@gesn.com> To: <bkish@cobbcounty.org> Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2000 11:48 AM Subject: FW: Cards Cast, Ballots Cast, and Times Counted > > > Mike Brown > 1611 Wilmeth Road, > McKinney, T.X. > 75069 > PH: 972.542.6000 > FX: 972.542.6044 > > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-support@gesn.com [mailto:owner-support@gesn.com]On Behalf Of > Tyler Links > Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2000 10:25 AM > To: support@gesn.com > Subject: RE: Cards Cast, Ballots Cast, and Times Counted > > > These three things are similar, but subtly different. > > Cards Cast and Ballots Cast are different from one another only if the > jurisdiction has two-card ballots.
