Subject: GEMS Rotation versions -
Wyandotte request
Greetings to all and especially Tab who is the
expert on this subject.
Wyandotte County, Kansas wants to see their
candidates rotated in the following way (using a very simple
example):
They want rotation by precinct, and they want
the same number of registered voters to see each rotation version, but they
want the precincts which get each rotation to be divided by precinct ID
numbers. For example, say there is one race, jurisdiction-wide with two
candidates; also assume the county has 100 precincts. They want half of
the voters in the county to see base rotation, and the other half to see
rotation 1. They also want precincts 1 through, say, 48 to see base
rotation and 49-100 to see rotation 1 (this accounts for the fact that this
creates an equal division in the number of registered voters seeing each
rotation).
Which rotation version in GEMS will accomplish
what they want? They claim that VTS used to do it in the manner just
described.
