2) changing the
order on the results tape where write ins appear - currently write ins
appear first on the tape, it would be nice if the write ins could appear
last
Does
anyone know if we have an .abo that approximates this? It would
probably not be too hard to make an .abo that puts the write-in stats line
after the candidate.
No, I don't believe that we have done one like this yet although this is
not the first time that it has been requested.
It wouldn't be hard to do. We need an RCR that specifies whether this
is to be a new report or a modification of a current report. If it's new,
what current one do we base it on and who is it for?
There is
a problem however with vote-for-more-than-one. The AVOS only tracks the
total number of write-ins in a race. No stats are kept for each write-in
position, so there is no way to put the total for each write-in position on
the report.
This hasn't been an issue for basic vote-for-many
races. It would of course be important if we wanted partisan write-in
positions.
