had to rerun the election. So the GRASS one went very well. Thanks. Having a way to work out a list of eligible voters is important but I’m sure that GRASS expertise can solve it. Perhaps we can then propose this to US states who are wrestling with the same
question and often proposing really bad solutions <span style="font-family:"Apple Color Emoji"">

<p>I got a suggestion, by Rich Shepard, about "ranked choice voting (RCV?)". I have no experience with it but possibly something the PSC may want to have a look at.<o:p></o:p></p>

+1 for unique IDs, wheter related to GitHub or not, they are very useful.<br>
