 We were wondering if 
anyone actually did it that way -- we were hoping not.  You are right it 
seems confusing to me too. 
  
The duplicate ArtSeq 
is an interesting interface suggestion.  You could even imagine some 
duplicated and some not.  We'll do that or something along those 
lines. 
  
As a point of 
curiosity, is doing it this way actually a statute, or just "they way they've 
always done it".  If its the former, please forward the section up to 
Vancouver.

  Theoretically the cross endorsement works 
  appropriately.  I noticed in VTS, if you 
  want the parties listed next to the candidate, the candidate would be listed 
  each time for a party affiliation as GEMS does.  Also in VTS, if you want 
  the candidate to appear only once on the ballot, no party affiliation appears 
  next to the candidate.  Which seems confusing, what party would the 
  candidate be affiliated with? 
    
  The state of PA expects the candidate to be 
  listed only once in the race with a dual party endorsement.  
    
  Gems currently shows: 
  John Doe (Dem) 
  John Doe (Rep) 
    
  The dual party option would show: 
  John Doe (Dem/Rep) 
    
  During straight party voting and dual party 
  option, whether Dem or Rep is voted John Doe would receive a vote.  
  Is it possibly to give the endorsed candidate the same ARTSQ identifier and 
  then append the party name after the candidate? 
    
  Thanks, Jane
