Fw: Early Voting for DRE

["Steve Knecht" <skglobal@earthlink.net>]

The California Secretary of State's office is saying that we need to start
each early voting day with a "zero report".  See below.  Can we seperate the
early voting into folders by day?

>>
>> Item 7.  This item implies that you want to be able to seperate out each

>> Is this done for absentee voting now?

>> Looking forward to hearing from you.  Thanks again
