Re: GEMS 1-17-21, ABasic-1-18-6: Copy # stays at 0 on AccuVote Tape regardless of the number of re-downloads.

Since the GEMS AccuVote Server has an MID, Copy, and Version column on the screen, it would be helpful to have our nomenclature consistent.  The "copy" on the server increments, but the "copy" number on the label doesn't, but is appended to the Vote Center ID.
 
Tab, could you explain the GEMS "version" definition differences between version and copy.  What is the purpose of the following definition and that it combines "reprogramming" and "resetting" of elections.

Version: The number of times a memory card has been re-programmed with new or changed data and the election status reset from Set for Election.

The copy number printed on the AccuVote-OS is the number of times the memory card has been copied using the AccuVote-OS supervisor's copy utility not the download copy.  The download copy number is displayed as part of the Votecenter id.

"Copy" on the AccuVote-OS Server - 1 window represents the number of times a memory card has been downloaded without unsetting the election.  However, the copy # on the AccuVote tape stays at 0 regardless of the number of times the vote center has been downloaded.
