Questions about EDF_1.json #29

Closed mattbeattie closed 2 years ago

mattbeattie commented 2 years ago

In reviewing the example NIST 2.0 EDF in JSON format, I have a few questions

https://github.com/TrustTheVote-Project/NIST-1500-100-103-examples/blob/main/test_cases/EDF_1.json

  1. How do you map from ContestSelection to Candidate? I see that a subset of the strings match up, for example candidate-cosmo-spacely and contest-mayor--selection-cosmo-spacely; however, it's not a exact match. Does this format require some fuzzy matching or string parsing in order to do this mapping?
  2. We've previously confirmed that ContestSelections can have multiple candidates (https://github.com/TrustTheVote-Project/NIST-1500-100-103-examples/issues/24). In this format though, each ContestSelection object has an @id property which is of type string. In this example though, none of these strings match anything else in the document. How is that one-to-many relationship accounted for here?
  3. ExternalIdentifier jumped out at me here, though I now see it's also in some of the 2.0 EDF XML formats as well. I read in the spec that it's for associating a jurisdiction's codes. Do these have any material impact on how Elroy should display the ballots?
  4. I see this includes a contest of vote variation plurality; however, we haven't discussed that vote variation before. I only account for n-of-m, majority and presidential based on the conversations we've had and the examples provided. Is plurality something we'll need to handle? If so, how should it be displayed?

Looks like the EDF file isn't complete. I'll look into this.

Closing this issue as this EDF has been replaced by the two new examples. Thanks for providing those!
