[TR] Request for Car show ballot counting systems

[Mike Welch]

You could set up a small kiosk system where the voters could enter their own 
data.  A few laptops set up on a table would do it.   If they're networked 
together (wired or wireless), you could set up a centralized database that 
would keep track of all votes and other info; if they aren't networked 
together each laptop would keep it's own data that would need to be 
reconciled at the end of the day.  Probably take a few hours to work up a 
basic system.  Of course, I'm a software developer, so I naturally think of 
a software solution.
If there is some interest in something like this, I'd be happy to work up a 
prototype.  It would give me something LBC-related to do when it's cloudy<g>

For a non-electronic solution, how about tallying the votes as they come in 
(assuming you started counting at the end of the voting period)
