RE: Guess they didn't use an iSeries...

I have no idea what the difference between a full-face interface and a touch
screen, except perhaps the size of the window.  I guess you can see the
whole ballot in a full-face interface?  But in any case it's evidently NOT
the balloting that's the problem, it's the back end.  Sequoia provides its
own back end tallying and reporting system written for SQL Server (WinEDS);
evidently you don't use that code, you use your own in-house iSeries code.
One more reason to use the iSeries!
