 This is a question about multilanguage 
capability.  Fresno has been telling me that they have to put two languages 
on the ballot for the past year.  Today, for the first time, I believe 
Susan Anderson is beginning to see the many problems that this will cause in 
cost, weight, duplication, confusion, etc.  If I can continue to barrage 
her with reasons and she relents - how does GEMS do the following: 
1.  Allow user to print English ballots and 
a seperate Spanish ballot with the same precinct IDs where the 
     ovals would probably be 
in different locations because Spanish and English take up different 
amounts 
    of room on the ballot.  
They would be the same races and ballot style, but different oval 
positions. 
    Does GEMS handle it 
now?  We would be using it in March 2000 election.  Can anyone email 
me names of other accounts that print Spanish and English ballots and how they 
do it.  Thanks
