Introduction

This report provides a mechanism to refine the strings for contests and options to be found on BMD ballots without requiring changing the EIF file, which will prompt rebuilding many intervening stages. This report works in conjunction with the BMDIF_(job_name).csv file to allow improving both the contest and option strings.

For 'public oversight' workflow, this file will provide sample BMD ballots for the contests and the options. If 'cooperative' workflow is being used, the images will be available in advance but no CVR, and so this report will not be able to look up the ballots that include specific BMD strings.

Although there are input fields in this report, these fields are currently not active. It is necessary to edit the BMDIF file directly to make any corrections. It is most common to discover corrections that must be made to the contest names. For example the official contest name might be "3rd Congressional District, U.S. House of Representatives (3524)" and the BMD contest name might be "U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES". It is extremely helpful if election districts can use systematic conversions.

The BMD_header must also be corrected, if necessary, by editing the JOB setting file. For the ballots shown, some of the options will be shown. For public oversight methodology, the CVR is already available, so we can gather up a ballot for every option. For cooperative workflow, we can provide some of the options. It is generally possible to notice if there are consistent change from official contests and option names, and use the JOB parameters bmd_option_select_regex for example to select only the valid portion of the official string.

During extraction, the BMDIF file is used to set the strings for comparision, and these will override the settings in the EIF file. It is good practice to try a few extractions using the operation extract_ballot_by_ballotid --ballotid NNNN to see how well extraction will occur prior to running the full extraction, which may be expensive.
