  Could you describe how you would use the rotation function 
  to check rotation.  What reports do you print to verify that the rotation 
  is correct?  Or is this on a precinct by precinct basis?  I'm not 
  sure how to use it yet.

    It does not reduce the number of ballots in the 
    deck.  The reason one would do an L&A test using rotation would be 
    to confirm the rotations are correct.  The reason for not using 
    rotation would be to print an SOVC or Summary report and have to totals 
    increasing by candidate.

      Honest 
      question:  why would one want to do that?  Does it reduce the 
      number of ballots in the test?

        If a L&A test is performed not using 
        rotation then the votes are assigned using the 'base rotation' for the 
        candidates rather than the ballot rotation.

          what does using rotation button do on test count in BS4-0-6?  
          Since ballots are downloaded in the correct rotation - does this 
          rotate them again?
