Ken, the Report Precinct and Vote
Center Status reports contain counter group 1 and 2 columns. Do
these refer to the first two counter groups defined in an
election? If not, what counter groups do they refer to? The
relationship between the counter groups 1 and 2 and those defined in the
Counter Group Editor is not as clear as between voter groups 1 and 2 and
voter groups defined under the Parties and Absentee/NonAbsentee tabs in
the Voter Group Editor.

Another
excellent question for the support list. The 1.94 Accu-Vote
has one or two counter groups. AFAIK only Anoka (and I guess
Washington now) uses the second counter group (absentee). These
reports show the counter groups of the vote center. You can set up two
counter groups for a vote center by putting both counter groups in
the same vote center category in the counter group
dialog.
The
counter group dialog is less that intuitive -- I agree. Hopefully it
will improve one day. Most people just learn how to set up their
counter groups a certain way and stick with it. That is pretty
easy to do since Minnisota is the only
exception.
Accu-Vote
2.0 will allow more than two counter groups in a vote center. These
reports and the counter group editor will need to be modified when that
happens.
