Jresult text file show writeins differently from Election Summary Report






Hi this is going to be filed under the feature or bug category.

The JResult Sx-x.txt file breaks out the write-ins in a multiple "vote for"
and (therefore) a multiple write-in race...even though JresultClient
combines the totals.  So in the example listed below, JresultClient is
showing 100 writein votes.

70 69 "CITY OF BERKELEY RENT STABILIZATION COMMISSIONER" 10 5 243 1 0 968 0
77
	225 11 "PINKIE PAYNE" "" 0 10
	224 12 "ROBERT J. EVANS" "" 0 20
	226 13 "CHRIS KAVANAGH" "" 0 30
	227 14 "HOWARD G. CHONG" "" 0 37
	223 15 "SELMA  SPECTOR" "" 0 45
	467 1047 "Write-in" "" 1 50
	468 1048 "Write-in" "" 1 23
	469 1049 "Write-in" "" 1 8
	470 1050 "Write-in" "" 1 9
	471 1051 "Write-in" "" 1 10

The election summary report, of course also combines the multiple write-ins
to show just one writein total.

So was this difference deliberate or not?  Vegitable or mineral?
