Johnson County, KS had a mock election last week and we encountered extra
results when we did the final reporting.
However, I have not been able to reproduce it, nor track it down. This is what they did. They
have 2 Servers that are both networked together. 1 is used for the Election Day Voting-(AVTS), and the other
1 is used for Paper Absentee-(AVOS-Central Count) and Early Voting-(AVTS). However, they have set up the Paper
Absentee & Early Voting as a Region, then when they are done counting the
Paper Absentee & Early Voting, they transfer those totals from that Region
to the Main database. We scanned
the Paper Absentee and loaded up the Early Voting totals on the Server set up
as the Region. We then transferred
those results over to the Main Server with the Main database on it. When we printed out results, we had extra
results within the Paper Absentee counter group. However, on the other Server set up as the Region, the Paper
Absentee results were correct. We
did not print out a Zero Report from the Main Server with the Main database
before we transferred the results from the Region, however within the Audit
Log, it does show that the Main database was Reset, which should have set all
totals to Zero. Does anyone have any idea what might have happened here??? I can get both the Main & Region database from them, along with any
logs if needed. Jeff |
