Dear Middlesex County Board of Elections,

PART 1:

I am requesting the full Cast Vote Record (CVR) with the standard per-batch results report, which includes batch and tabulator information for the November 3, 2020 general election for all of the County. The CVR is the report that shows the votes on a spreadsheet with the CVR number, tabulator ID, precinct ID, batch ID, voting method (by-mail, election day, provisional, etc), and the candidate selection for each individual vote cast in the election. The votes are on the spreadsheet sequentially as scanned.

**Please note, the Cast Vote Record is automatically generated by the EMS during the tabulation process, and there is NO SPECIFIC VOTER INFORMATION included in the report.

To be clear, I am NOT requesting summary report of votes; I am requesting a per-ballot report.

I am including specific information on generating the files I am requesting based upon EVS
version 6.1.1.0. If you are using a different version there might be some differences. If you
cannot generate the below but you can generate (or already possess) a report including the
information outlined above, please send that report.

Based upon the equipment used by the county in the 2020 general election, the process for exporting the CVR is as follows:

1. Open Your ELECTIONWARE APPLICATION
2. Click on “RESULTS” Box on left hand pane
3. Choose the Desired Election
4. Load Results of the Election Chosen. Confirm PRECINCT VIEW is Chosen
5. Go to WORKFLOW>LOAD RESULTS and make sure ALL Items are Checked under the Precinct View window
6. Go to Load Results Window and set Desired Output (XLSX) and any other parameters
7. Click Export
8. In the In the Cast Vote Records Export Dialogue Box Select a Destination for the Cast Vote Record File, Create a File Name, accept the XLSX Format, then click SAVE.

PART 2:

I am also requesting the Ballot View Report (also known as the Tabulator Batch Report or Ballot Manifest Report) for all ballots included the tabulation of the results of the Nov. 3, 2020 general election. This report should include the information that specifies the method by which each ballot was cast. (ie: in-person, by-mail, provisional, absentee, etc.)

The process for exporting the Ballot View Report is as follows:

1. Follow Steps 1 through 5 Above to Select an Election etc.
2. Click BALLOT REVIEW under the WORKFLOW Tab
3. Under the APPLY FILTER Tab; Make Sure ALL Boxes are Checked
4. Export the BALLOT VIEW Report

I am hopeful that there is someone within the County Elections Commission or Board
of Elections who will be able to generate the reports I am looking for. Since this request is for
information that will be used for educational purposes, and is NOT INTENDED FOR
COMMERCIAL USE, I would like to also respectfully request that any fees be waived.

Ideally, I would like to receive the reports via electronic transmission. However, if the data files are too large, and must be copied to a USB drive, I will happily supply the necessary device to the county in order to make that happen.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,
Lynne Lippincott
