Steve,
In the
rcr if the YES and NO selections will both activate the recalled race then they
should both be designated as candidate type "RecalledKeyCandidate" .This is in keeping with the
existing logic.
jwh
I
believe the description of the existing functionality sounds like a CA. logic,
which is a requirement. That is a YES or NO vote can activiate the
recall, and if the YES votes are over 50%, then everyone's vote (whether
they voted YES OR NO above) is counted for the
recall.
I do
not believe Jeff's request would meet the CA.
requirements.
Gems 1.18.15
Ballot Station 4.3.14
This RCR affects both GEMS and Ballot Station.
Current behavior:
Selecting Recall race as the race type creates 1 default candidate "YES" of
type "Candidate". The race editor allows for the creation of more candidates of
any other type that is available in drop down list. When another candidate is
created, label "NO" of type "Candidate" the resulting behavior is that when
either of the candidates, "YES" or "NO" is voted then the Recalled race tied to
this Recall race is activated.
Desired behavior:
Selecting Recall race as the race type creates 1 default candidate "YES" of
type "RecalledKeyCandidate", this type is new and would have the attributes of
a standard "Candidate" type as well having the attribute of being able to
activate the Recalled race. In other words when a candidate is voted of
type "RecalledKeyCandidate" then the Recalled race is activated. The race
editor still allows for the creation of more candidates of any other type that
is available in drop down list, but only candidate type "RecalledKeyCandidate"
can activate the Recall race.
Motivation:
The Governor of Georgia has a Preference election coming up in March 2004 that
requires this feature.
Can I have a show of hands of
AVTS states/accounts that allow recall races? Jeff is proposing a new
behavior that might or might not be desirable for everyone. We can
make it a YAF (Yet Another Flag), but if everyone is happy with Jeff’s
proposal, we’ll just make it the behavior for all. This is RCR#2488.
