• Election Management System

- The Election Event Designer (EED)
EMS
At the heart of our complete voting system solution is Democracy Suite... out of a single comprehensive database; mail-in ballots, in person voting, accessible voting, and Uniformed Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA)/Remote Accessible Vote By Mail (RAVBM).
Democracy Suite is comprised of two main modules: Election Event Designer and Results, Tally
and Reporting.

The Election Event Designer (EED) has all the tools needed to build the election project.
Election Event Designer
"From importing of your election data, ballot layout, audio, languages, machine settings to creation of
election files for each voting unit, Election Event Designer sets the stage."
"Election definition data may be entered manually or imported from voter registration systems
using the Election Data Translator utility. The Election Data Translator utility allows the import
of the election definition from State or County election files..."
"Templates used for creating custom ballot layouts and options can be reused from election to
election... Election definition data as well as
the templates used for creating elections allow jurisdictions to create uniform, easy-to-read, and
space efficient paper ballots."
"Election Event Designer uses the State or County geopolitical and election data to calculate the appropriate ballot styles and generate full-sized press-ready ballots in industry-standard PDF format. EMS lays out a variety of import ballot formats..."

To be continued...
"The ballot is 8.5" wide, and standard ballot lengths for the ImageCast Tabulators (ImageCast Central, ImageCast Precinct and ImageCast Evolution, which is an all-in-one ballot marking device, scanner and tabulator) are 11'' to 22'' ballots..."
"The number of voting positions depends on the ballot style and the length of the ballot. The system can generate and process a 22” double-sided portrait ballot that can accommodate 500 voting positions..."
Results Tally and Reporting
"Results Tally and Reporting (RTR) module allows for upload of results files from in-person and
central tabulation equipment.

The consolidated results are verified, tabulated and published...."

"RTR offers maximum flexibility to create predefined reports in addition to a variety of standard election
day reports including, election summary, Statement of Votes Cast, Cards Cast and RCV round by round reports."
https://t.co/piCTlaMcX6
https://t.co/ck5JZOWKFk
"An additional efficiency built into the Democracy Suite RTR module is that reports can be generated as ballot processing continues uninterrupted. Under the current system, pulling reports causes a disruption to ballot processing."

"This efficiency enables the City to better respond to the community requests for real time election data."

THREAD:
Good afternoon, followers of frivolous election litigation. There's a last-minute entry in the competition for dumbest pre-inauguration lawsuit - a totally loony effort to apparently leave the entire USA without a government.

We'll start with the complaint in a minute.

But first, I want to give you a quick explanation for why I'm going to keep talking about these cases even after the inauguration.

They're part of an ongoing effort - one that's not well-coordinated but is widespread - to discredit our fundamental system of government.

It's a direct descendent, in more ways than one, of birtherism. And here's the thing about birtherism. It might have been a joke to a lot of people, but it was extremely pernicious. It obviously validated the racist "not good enough to be President" crowd. But that wasn't all.

Don't get me wrong, that was bad enough. Validating racism helped put the kind of shitbird who would tweet this from an official government account into power. But it didn't stop


(Also, if you agree with Pompeo about multiculturalism - the legendary melting pot - not being what this country is all about, you need to stop following me now. And maybe go somewhere and think about your life choices and what made you such a tool.)
I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.


Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:

He's wrong to prioritise the public over Labour Party

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay


Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत


Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।


Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed
