ABSTRACT:
An electrical voting machine is disclosed which uses digital circuits to allow each of a number of voters to (1) select one of a number of alternative answers to a question and (2) express a selected degree of confidence in the selected answer, and then combines digitally the voter selections, and displays indications reflecting both the answer distribution and the degree of confidence of the voter group in the selected answers. Additionally, the machine calculates and displays: the total number of voters, a downcount of the number of voters as their votes are tallied, a weighted mean of the answer curve, an error signal if the number of votes exceeds the number of voters or if there is a circuit failure, and an error condition if an attempt is made to tally the votes before all voters have voted.
