RE: GEMS Name

I did not see any traffic from sales on this.  I will weigh in from management.  GEMS it is.  No good logical reason to change it.

For what it is worth, or if it helps any with the decision, it is "Global Election Management System".  Global as in comprehensive, universal.  Not Global as in property of GES.

 

That and DEMS is just a terrible name.  Sound like Democrats.   Sounds like DIMS.  But hey I just write it I don't have to sell it.

 

I know, lets call it AccuVote-EMS. (snort)
