The State of 
    Wisconsin / Elections Board is 
    requiring that all election results to 
    be transmitted electronically from the county clerks to the Elections Board starting in 2002.  They 
    have a specific format that we must 
    follow.  Here is an example with an 
    explanation:
     
    1,4,5,14,1
    2,11,21,4,3
    3,7,3,2,0
     
    1,4,5,2
    2,1,2,4
     
    Each group represents the totals from each office, by 
    precinct.
     
    The first group for the 1st office has 3 Report Precincts, 
    1,2,&3;  3 candidates - 
    Candidate 1 has results of 4 in precinct 1, 11 in precinct 2, and 7 in 
    precinct 3, Candidate 2 has results of 5 in precinct 1, 21 in precinct 2, 
    and 3 in precinct 3, Candidate 3 has results of 14 in precinct 1, 4 in 
    precinct 2, and 2 in precinct 3.  The last number represents the 
    results for (Write-Ins).
     
    The second group for the 2nd office has 2 Report 
    Precincts, 1 & 2; 2 candidates - Candidate 1 has results of 4 in 
    precinct 1, and 1 in precinct 2, Candidate 2 has results of 5 in precinct 1 
    and 2 in precinct 2.  Again, the last number represents the results for 
    (Write-Ins).
     
    Each office is reported 
    in Report Precinct Order.
    Only list the Reporting 
    Precincts that actually have the office on the ballot.
    Need a break after each 
    office.
    No 
    headers.
    No 
    titles.
