Make sample-size estimation work without manifests #146

Open vteague opened 5 months ago

vteague commented 5 months ago

Sample size estimation will be done in a preliminary phase where counties upload preliminary cvrs but may not have a ballot manifest. The audit will not actually be started, but the process will run through the phases of setting the parameters and generating the assertions.

Check that nothing prevents reaching the assertion generation phase without manifests having been uploaded. There is no inherent reason that they should be necessary, but there may be some unexpected logic inside colorado-rla that makes this fail.

Update (and name change). Actually it does not work without manifests, for various fiddly reasons. Fix this up.

The ballot count should simply be the number of CVRs. This would not be OK for the actual audit, but is fine for sample size estimation.
