Problem Statement Design Statement Criteria Constraint s Due to the controversy over Florida’s 25 electoral votes during the run between Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Albert “Al” Gore, caused by the use of paper votes that resulted in a high yield of over-votes and under-votes. With problems that occur when using paper votes and prevent controversy at the company, the board of director has asked to design a electronic voting machine. This machine should be designed in a way that allows for four memebers of the board to cast ballots that will pass or fail the decisions. Create a circuit that will allow a voting machine to let four members a president, a vice-president, a secretary, and a treasurer cast their votes/ballots and then display a pass/fail status on each of their votes/ballots. This machine should also give the president vote the ultimate ruling over the result when ties occur (ie. tie will be decided by the presidents decision) 1. Must display a pass or fail status 2. Must work in 3. Simple user interface 4. Always have a decision 1. Must be a simplified circuit 2. Must fit on the bread Board 3. Must be completed by 11/1 4.
