Project 2.1.1 Majority vote
The United States 2000 Presidential Election between George W. Bush (Republican) and Albert "Al" Gore (Democrat) will be best remembered for the controversy over who won Florida's 25 electoral votes, and ultimately, who won the presidency.
At the heart of the controversy was the use of antiquated and unreliable paper ballots. The use of these paper ballots resulted in an unacceptable amount of over-votes and under-votes. An over-vote occurs when someone’s vote is counted more than once, and an under-vote occurs when someone’s vote is not counted at all.
To ensure that this type of controversy does not occur at your company, the board of directors has asked you to design an electronic voting machine. The voting machine will allow the four board members to cast their ballots and will display the pass/fail status of each of their decisions.
The board of directors has four members; a president, a vice-president, a secretary, and a treasurer. Each member has a single yes/no vote. For a decision to pass, a majority of the board members must vote yes. In the event of a tie, the president’s vote is use to break the tie (i.e., if the president votes yes, the decision passes. If the president votes no, the decision fails.).
In this project, you will use only AND, OR & Inverter logic gates, frequently referred to as AOI logic, to design, simulate, and build a Majority Vote voting machine that meets these design specifications.
Conclusion
In the aftermath of the 2000 Presidential Election, federal and state governments pushed for election reform. Many states passed laws that eliminated the use of paper ballots and required the use of electronic voting machines. Unfortunately, confusion on how to use these new electronic voting machines caused mistrust among the voting public. Ironically, this mistrust was particularly widespread among retirees living in Florida.
For this project write a conclusion (minimum 500 words) that describes the process that you used to design, simulate, and build your Majority-Vote Voting Machine. Here’s the catch: you must write this conclusion in the form of a letter to your grandmother who is retired and living in Florida. Assume that your grandmother is a retired 3rd grade teacher and has no knowledge of digital electronics.
- Dear grandmother
I have just made a circuit for the government. That can tell what the fill vote of the President, Vice President, Secretary, and the Treasurer. The way it works is by using the phases "AND" and "OR". So if any one votes with the President there vote passes there for all the others need to vote against the President for his vote to be vetoed. The way I did it is by using the a truth table and just working through it. In the end I could have just simply, done if VP or Secretary or treasurer vote with the president that vote wins so you connect the or's with the President thats one way for it to work then the other there and be connected with and's and then it will work.
P.S. can I have the Car
