RCTab version: 1.3.999
config: Gov Final Two Rules.json
cvr: Alaska 2022 CVR

What Happens

Right now for Dominion candidate auto-load it populates the candidate name field with the candidate code from that CVR. That's not super useful as users will need their results file to show the candidate's actual name, not their candidate code, in the results. In order to get the candidate names affiliated with those candidate codes, users need to:

  1. review their CVR data to match up the candidate code numbers populated into the Candidates tab
  2. record those candidate names into RCTab
  3. move the candidate codes over to the aliases/code column

This doesn't really save any time as finding that candidate name info takes just as much time to do after you have candidate codes as before you have any candidate codes.

What should happen

Candidate auto-load from Dominion files should load candidate names into the candidate name column and candidate codes into the code column.

@chughes297 do you have an example CVR with what you would expect the auto-populated candidates' name/alias to be?

Here's a results summary, config, and the CVR to run the contest if that's helpful?

Created #869 to research other vendors. If we find the same issue in others (I think Hart has this issue) we can create tickets to fix them.
